I got the bright idea the other day to make an attempt at getting as much of the Ku arc viewable from North America as possible using fixed Ku dishes and multi-lnbfs.
I want to be able to receive these signals on at least 2 receivers, perhaps more in at least 2 different rooms.
I have several Primestar 84es and one 75e currently. I know where I can get a couple more real easily.
I know several members here who have accomplished this using both un-committed and committed diseqc switches, and some who have used 22Khz switches only. I am going to attempt lnbs at 4 degrees apart as shown in my layout below. If you think I can get more than 3 lnbfs on each dish and how to place them that would be great. Keep in mind, that I would like to retain good reliable signal for each satellite.
If there is a better way to lay this out, please elaborate on your setup with picuters drawings etc. That would be very helpful.
Here is my current plan:
Dish 1
74W (H2 AKA SBS6)
79W (AMC5)
83W (AMC9)
72W (AMC6)
