StarChoice 75e Dish

[jself1982]

Got an extra one the last time I made an order with KuSat, can I use this dish and the StarChoice LNB to make as a fixed dish for FTA?

Can I use it for 2 locations (i.e. AMC 6/SBS 6)?

Can I use the LNB on there already?

How do I connect it to my Disecq switch, with 1 or 2 cables from the LNB?

yes you can. Done it numberous times

Can I use it for 2 locations (i.e. AMC 6/SBS 6)?

the LNB's are 3.8 degrees apart

Can I use the LNB on there already?

yes you can

How do I connect it to my Disecq switch, with 1 or 2 cables from the LNB?

since it has a 22k built in to it, if you aim at just one satellite, use the Sat B one (which has the 22k built in). Its at the focal point and not offset

You would only need one line since the 22k is built in

As for the 2 satellites, yes it can be done but if the offset (ie: 107.3) LNB might have issues with a weaker signal.

Thank you.

Does the skew markings on the back match real skew marking for FTA?

 

[Mr Tony]

sort of

take it from 90 so if it shows +30, then skew to 120

here is a thread I did for 97/101 to get some of the sky angel channels

Lots of interesting combinations can be accomplished with 4 degree spacing. I've been looking into this recently myself, might get something going soon. One that I'm particularly eyeing (other than the 97/101 combo) is 89/93 (for feeds)...

 

[Mr Tony]

89/93 will work but the only drawback is since the LNB's aren't exactly 4 degrees, some of the weaker signals may not come in
