Tie a string accross the center of the dish and measure from the middle of the string to the deepest part of the dish.That's your depth.Just click that link in my last post.It tells you everything to do.Back track from it??G'luck

dj I pm you the formula for calculating focal distance. Also, leave that diseqc switch out for now. If that lnbf has two outputs, be sure you are connecting to the c-band output port while you are looking for c-band satellites.

its c band only its the geo sat c2

update here

Dj has found his first signals today! After lots of effort, and some cell-phoning between the two of us, he located a couple of satellites, manually moving his big 12' dish, lol. Now, he's hooked.

Could I use a diplexer to combine both of the LNB on one line and feed that to a switch?

No. Diplexers combine (then split on the other end) the high frequency satellite frequencies and the low frequency Terrestrial or Cable frequencies. Diplexers cannot combine/split similar frequencies.

Bummer Thanks anyway

I have seen band stackers. Not all that cheap, but then I think most everything cost too much.

I love Norsat LNBs so much that I'm going to have them buried with me when I die. My personal choice is Norsat 8115. I use that and Norsat 8515 and I love both. The 8115 should do better locking in DVB-S2.

Norsat 8115's on both my dishes. There's one in eBay now for 49.00 free shipping!
