DTV Worldvision 36' oval dish - 123

[acuevas]

Hey all,

I took above mentioned dish( comes with two LNBs 95/101) and aimed it 123 and got a good signal about 70%. Is it possible to attach another lnb for the 125 sat? Looking from behind the dish where would it go? thanks.

A 125° LNB would go on the east side of the 123° LNB.
Notice how the 101° LNB is to the east of the 95° LNB.
Just like looking in a mirror.

Getting good reception of two birds just 2° apart, requires four things to be in your favor:
- very small LNB feedhorns
- relatively longer focal length dish
- you should ideally be located near the same longitude as the birds.
- being to the South helps, as opposed to the North

Here's a good example of these rules in action.
Note in the discussion, I posted a link into another thread with specific numbers as examples:
