Question: 2 sats - one dish

[C-ya]

Hello all, just joined after learning of FTA from another forum. I have been searching high and low on the net since then, and have decided to try it out.

My question is about looking at 2 sats with one dish, which should be cheaper than having one motorized dish. I'm not sure what type of bracket to get to hold the LNBs on a 90cm (36") dish.


Would 90cm dish from SatelliteAV and the Multi-LNBF Offset Bracket w/ 2 Clamps work together for what I need? And do I need the 22kHz switch?

Thanks in advance. It's been some good reading so far, and more will follow, I'm sure.

Sorry I can't link to the pages as originally intended. I was told I can't post URLs until I hit 15 posts.

depends on which satellites you want to get...the 2 degree bracket is for sats 4 degrees apart so depending on which sats you want it may work

Tell us the two satellites and your location. With that we can advise you.

Thanks for the replies. I figured out what I need to do, tho. I found an LNB bracket that adjusts from 6 to 14 deg. That will give me enough room to play with more than one sat at a time w/o having to move the dish too much. I'm still learning, and I plan on experimenting a bit. As such, I don't know which 2 I'll end up looking at, but if I find 2 that will work in this range, I'm good. I'm sure I'll end up with a motor eventually, but I figured this would work for now.

I have the room to add dishes - and switches, although powering switches is not easy of an inverter. I only have one of the multi-lnb brackets, and am not using it right now - maybe next week!
