ezo4fta: Gone are the days of using ropes and other materials to tie 2 lnbs together on one dish,either to receive Dstv and Multi-tv or Multi-tv and Amos 5.
Since the advent of multi lnbf, it is now convenient to receive Dstv and Multi-tv or Multi-tv and Amos 5 together on one dish. The setup is so neat,and also,easy to use.

toba:
Nice one. so thoughtful of you

Take a look at the below picture, do you need to adjust the lnb or once you fix assuming the dish is set at Multi tv the above 2 lnb will automatically pick dstv without a need to shift the other lnb up or down

pofolo: AFTERNOON all,
after the 2-dual lnb was brought to my attention earlier, i had to go dig deep about it.
in ibadan here, we have the stargold and discovery and they both goes for #1800 in ogunpa and oke-padre.
it has a space adjustment of 37mm apart.

on installation, once you hit green on the pry satelite, all you have to do next is input the next tp parameters and then try adjusting the space adjustment and proper skewing...

i have seen 36east ( w4 ) and multi tv ( 28east) combination.
lets try out the dreaded w3a 7east and ses5 sirius-4.8east, this might actually be the breakthrough we seek for the difficulty of trade-off on a single lnb.

trying out multi tv + amos5\w3a could be possible
and all posible satelites within 37mm apart.

pofolo: LESSON 101 ON 2-IN-1 LND INSTALLATION. A CASE NOTE OF MULTI TV(pry) and W7 DSTV ( secondary)

1 . Couple,arrange and mount the dish.
2. set the frequency of multi tv on 12522 v\h 19531 and then track ( primary ).
3. after hitting green on multi tv, set w7 frequency on 12245 h\v 27500.
4. remove cable from the pry lnb port and screw into the secondry lnb.
5. adjust the lnd upward ( elevation) and turn it sides ways .i.e right and left ( skewness ), until you hit green.
6. tightened the 2 screws that allows you to adjust the secondary lnb.
7. check the pry lnb ( multi tv ), to still see that its still hitting green.
8 tightened your work, and set the disecq on if necessary...................................
HOPES THIS HELPS.
ATTACHED IS A SKETCH
VIVA FTA.

NOTE: you can also use the above technique to track multi tv and amos5.
just that AMOS5 becomes the pry ,while multi tv becomes the secondary.
happy hunting.

pofolo: @ toba,
once you track the primary, you might not necessarily tightened the pry lnb holder to allow it to be skewed. this is majorly needed if the dish isnt properly mounted ( straightly) if there's anything like that, or the topography or slope of the building or area.
the skewness per say takes effect on the primary lnb neck, but decides the signal strenght on both pry and secondry signal, and thats the reason to double check the pry again after hitting green on secondary.
the trade-off point determines where it best suits both lnb.

ezo4fta: u ar on point. Am using the multi lnb on my 90cm dish wit multi-tv as the primary and dstv as secondary and the quality is as follow: multi-tv 91% and Dstv 81%.

pofolo:
can you please post the pics from the back and front of the dish with the lnb to give a sketch diagram to show skewness and how the 'clocks' come in.

viva fta.

ezo4fta: I can't do dat at the moment but promise to post it when I hv the time. Thanks

ezo4fta: this is the pics for dstv and multi tv...note multi tv is the reference point and uses the down lnb while the upper lnb is for dstv...sorry for not posting the pics early cos I was quite busy..thanks

toba: morning. I want to ask a question.

what position is the Lnb facing as in clock wise? if it 3.00 9.00 10 .00 clock. I know that both Lmb would have to be facing the same side

Also whats the distance apart between the two Lnbs?

pofolo:

looking at the lnb ,staning at the back of the dish should be between 4 or 5 o'clock i guess from the pics i.e the wires( rgb ) via f-connector goes into the lnb port.

dozieze: Please what is the frequency and S R of tv sat.

I want to track multi tv but I don't know the satellite and its frequencies.

Are channels on amos 5 FTA if yes how can I track it

ezo4fta: @ olenyi...thanks so much for ur good work here. You ar really doing great.

odukoko: @ezo4fta,have installed the two lnb for both dstv n multi both signal strength and quality are 90 and 70 but i realised that some channels like mnet action,channel o,disc w are not showing.should i get a new dish for a different installation of dstv or is my diseq d problem?

dogmatic_p: I have successfully done my dual LNB installation for MultiTv and Dstv. Is it possible to add 1 separate LNB for AIT to dis already done set-up ?
