I'm in NE Vic and get a good peek at the sky and get all of that no problem

Some friends want to install motorised S/C/Ku dishes to pickup some satellites (1 dish each in 2 locations).
The satellites are from 180E to 75E. I realise 75E is borderline as it would be near the horizon.
I've checked lyngsat, sathint, satbeams... and tried to assist, but need some advice from people in the know.
The two locations are south of Canberra and near Adelaide River (NT).
Both locations have very good view from horizon to horizon.
Is there anyone in the vicinity of these places that can provide some assistance?
INTELSAT 18 (180E) - C & Ku Bands
SES 7 (108.2E) - S Band
TELKOM 1 (108E) - C Band
ASIASAT 3S (105.5E) - C Band
ASIASAT 5 (100.5E) - C Band
THAICOM 5 (78.5E) - C Band
APSTAR 7 (76.5E) - C Band
ABS 1 (75E) - C Band

hi guys can you also get the SES 7 (108.2E? well I try but no luck I don't think this bird shows in Australia
SES7 doesnt cover Australia at all, it might be theoretically possible to get out of beam reception with a large dish in Far Nth WA/NT
I got 99 problems and a crimp aint one...

I can get it in perth on a 3.7metre dish and designated s-band lnbf. so in theory if your dish is large enough and you have a s-band lnbf id give it a go
I'm not aware of whether there are combined S/C/Ku band feed horns available, or if they need seperate S and C/Ku's.
And, again not sure if they can be mounted on the one dish together (side by side), or would they cause interference with each other, then requiring seperate dishes.
I have a dedicated dish/s-band lnbf. you cant get a combined s-band lnbf.
you can however get a c/ku lnbf.

If he's getting it on a 3.7metre dish in Perth, it would be reasonable to assume you will need one a fair bit larger in NSW.

sorry I haven't tried for the sats at 108. The rest is ok

Thanks for your replies, now need to pick some brains again.
My friends are trying to get away from having two large dishes installed to use both C/Ku as well as S.
Has anyone had any experience using one of these C band Dual LNBF holders?
Is it be possible to use one with a S band LNB fitted next to a C/Ku LNB (with modifications if required)?
Or are they only suitable for mounting two C-band LNB's (i.e. one linear and other circular)?

the s band lnb mount via a single hole in the back its waaaaaaay to large to fit in a dual lnb bracket.

Thanks. Thought it may have been too good to be true.
So basically, to use a S band lnb, you need to have a dedicated dish.
Do you know of any suppliers in Australia, or is the nearest in Indonesia or Malaysia/Thailand.
Because S-Band is not common in Australia, you'll find it difficult to obtain the dish/LNB holder and the LNB itself here.
Any of the satellite equipment suppliers will probably be able to order in what you want, but it will come from OS anyway.
is a good supplier of 'non-standard' stock lines, so give them a try.
