It depends on the size of the lnb an ordinary lnb can only be used for sats 6 degrees apart, with a 1M dish you would get more of a wider signal so you should be able to get 23E as well, if you wanted 16E you would need at least 3 of the "Inverto MultiConnect lnbs" at 19E, 16E & 13E and another bracket, so that wouldn't be worth it.does anyone have any sort of idea how far apart sats would need to be to get side by side LNBs on a 1m dish?
I have a 65cm dish and I've found it to be about 6degrees on that,
ie:19 and 13 are dead tight to each other on a 65cm

You're going to a lot of expence and bother just to get an extra sat or 2, I think you would get 23.5E easily on the 1M dish with a spare lnb, (are you not going to motorize the 1M dish),ok @mike142
I could make something like this easy enough http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inverto-M...Bs-/261463523286?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
and then I need one of these , but in 0.1db https://www.reichelt.com/gb/en/?LAN...MIq53tlvvI1gIVFBQbCh0GBA-9EAQYBCABEgLDW_D_BwE
and these https://www.alza.co.uk/quad-inverto...h0GBA-9EAQYAiABEgLM7vD_BwE&layoutAutoChange=1
so it should be doable ? :)
I need to buy the wife something nice, :)You're going to a lot of expence and bother just to get an extra sat or 2, I think you would get 23.5E easily on the 1M dish with a spare lnb, (are you not going to motorize the 1M dish),
I've a motorized dish for about 20 years now and I hardly ever watch 23.5E or 16E, you won't get much there that you can't get on 19E or 13E,
the sat I would watch most is 19E, (at the minute I'm watching Sport 24 at 20W on my Freesat box),
you could temporarily set your 1M dish up with your sat box in the shed to get either 23.5E or 16E, & watch the channels for a while just to see if it's worth the bother.
In my opinion, If you can possibly do it, a seperate motorized dish just for your own use is the best option, then you can watch whatever you want on any Sat & get live sports feeds as well, with the right box.
I knew you would see sense in the end, you would just need to get sats from 39E to 30W, there is nothing worth watching anywhere else.I need to buy the wife something nice, :)
if I have chance this weekend I will drive a scaff pole into garden and see what I can get on the 1m,
I'd rather go motorised on it tbh, its the logical/financial answer , £40 for a motor Vs the other expense for extra LNBs etc
or, just wait til the wife is out for the day and get the big dish up, :cool:
ye, thinking about it, its not worth putting another £100 into and still not get all the sats, motorised is way to go, and leave 65cm for 28 and 19,
I also watch more 19 than anything else tbh
I cant get past 30e , if I can even get that far E tbh,I knew you would see sense in the end, you would just need to get sats from 39E to 30W, there is nothing worth watching anywhere else.
Just as an idea what kind of stuff can you see on 39E?
Does it open Bulcrypt encryption ? National Geo channel, Film plus, Filmbox ?
