45W, 53W, 58W sharing dish

[magnigyro]

Friends look my 3 lnb array on a single 31" dish, the reception is good, I just follow data on the list!

I got only 3 channel, one from each bird...

just a guess:

So . . . you ARE getting reception from the bird at 53°, and not the other two?
It sort of looks like the outside (left and right) LNBs have the wrong skew.
If so, that would kill reception on 45° and 58°.

You might have signal (on 45° and 58°), but the Vertical could be swapped with the Horizontal.

Right now cloudy here data:

45W, 11630 H 2205, Canal 36, Q: 40, stable picture

53W, 11632 H 3111, CNL 27 GUATEMALA Q: 85

58W, 11476 V 26470, Aastha Ch 2 Q: 70

That skew position gives the best Q for me.

Excellent ! - :up

Nice having three birds on one dish, isn't it!

Looks good, congrats!. What is your appx long/lat or nearest major city? j/c

Agreed , nice work getting 3 birds and the spacing is probably the perfect scenario.

Would you prefer 43.0 west over 45.0 west , you might be able to get more channels from Intelsat 3R , basically Mexico Televisa not 24/7 and I believe I read this bird was being retired.

Excellent rigging magnigyro! Nice experiment! I can not get 53 & 58 W or 45 W for some reason. But that is a great job! Skew is going to be trial and error. It is a great feeling to get something rigged like that on an idea and see it work!

That IS what the hobby is all about, makes us all want to try new elaborate things to make them work!

But nevertheless that is some project! Brownie points given! :up

Nice setup. Brute, but functional. You may want to consider a motorized dish instead with one LNBF for multiple satellites. Any reason why you chose this multiple LNBF route?

very cool

In a ranch near Laredo Texas.

Motorized dish? No thanks....I have no only multiple dishes (8) and lnbs (18) but multiple FTA receivers (6). We have many channel simultaneously and I can switch what I want to look by a home-theater RCA (with PDIF decoder), or can I send favorite channel for my wife, son, daughter... from 6 sources.

hey that works. Usually folks use multiple dishes for LOS issues or cant get a dish on a motor as low as they want
