16 east question

If I added another lnb to my setup would I pull in 16e straight away or would I have to do some realignment ?
White cable is on 19.2 and other cable is on 28.2.

I don't have a multi-lnb setup, but you might be better off making 19.2E LNB the centre one, with 28.2E and 16E on either side of it
 
Not getting 16e I'd say in that setup only a 3 degree difference from 19 to 16 not enough space , 28 and 19 Lnb are touching eachother, you'd get 13e but probably not for what you want

What signal levels do you get at present
 
What size dish would I be best getting, I'm based in Dublin?
@superfan...I agree with @mike142 on trying with a bigger dish.

From Dublin you are likely to see success with minimum at least a 90cm dish, 1m would be better.
Definitely centre the dish on 16E as it is the satellite that requires the largest focal point area for the LNB.
The signal strength of each of the satellites reduces in the this order 28.2E, then 19.2E, then 16E.

Therefore, because 16E will be the weakest signal from your location it is best to centre your dish on that
satellite, then position the other two LNBs on your multi-lnb holder away from the centre.

Due to the close proximity of 16E and 19.2E you should try and source an LNB called the Venton. It is made
in Germany and is a slimline LNB that will permit you to position it very close to another standard LNB.

Even though 28.2E is 12.2 degrees away from the centre at 16E it will still come in powerfully on a 90cm/1m dish.

If you can, I would use an Inverto Black Ultra or Golden Media LNB in the centre pointing at 16E, then use a slimline
LNB like the Venton pointing to 19.2E. Finally, any decent LNB will bring in 28.2E as it is so powerful you won't need
an elite LNB like the Inverto or Golden Media.

Hope this makes sense and helps.
 
@kippysat great info mate thanks a million.
Didn't realise 16 would be the weakest signal, I'll probably leave things as they are, I only really wanted it for PL footy but 19.2 should do.

@superfan ....my pleasure, but I would encourage you to take @manic01 advice and go for 16E as well.

You see, 16E has almost every single EPL game on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday and mid-weeks as well. The commentary is in English,
the pictures are crystal clear, and most of all it is highly reliable. The SS channels also show the 3pm kickoffs, which is superb if
you can't get to watch your club live.

19.2E does not match the number and variety of EPL on offer. You can't beat 16E for EPL coverage.

Really worth considering...👍
 
I might go out to my local sat shop this weekend and have a word with them, might mount a separate 90/100 cm dish just for 16 if it's not going to be too much hassle.

Multi sat system is not easy without a satellite meter .From installation point view .Your bracket has to be 90°all round otherwise when you fit the
the multisat bracket the positive and negative tilt
of the multisat bracket will have limited adjustment to receive the highest s.n.r on the high and low transponders.You might be better with th 100cm satellite dish and high powered l.n.b to prevent any complications. There is plenty of knowledgeable satellite enthusiasts on the fourm who would be willing to help if you want to try and install a multisat system
Good luck 👍

@superfan ....as previously stated by @linesman66 ....you will need a decent satellite meter. It doesn't have to be an expensive one, so look online for
ones that cost less than 100 Euros.

Additionally, you really want to get a set of T&K brackets as the best mechanism to install a 90cm/100cm dish on a wall. Good coach bolts with which to sevure
them, power tools etc. This may seem over the top, but it will prove stable and secure even in extremely windy conditions.

Lots of help on here, so keep us informed and good luck... 👍
 
A lad I know installs dishes, might get in touch with him to see if he'll do me a favour.
I've mounted 80cm dishes for 28.2 in the past, complete novice so not sure if I'd be able to do 16.
