@Ameboperoo
Thanx for opening a new topic for Multilnb. It'll really go a long in making search a lot easier than in long threads, Keep the good job up.

@ ameboo,
well i just posted on the mhread b4 realising that you have opened up the new thread
it was directed at enigma
so i will repost here

@ ameboo,

so i will repost here:
   through hotwire's edited  picture . . . i asked if my wave directions are correct from his explanations,

A is nilesat B is W3A and C is Multi Tv

what do you think

I should point out that my reply on the other thread was based on the positioning of the LNBs alone. The LNBs are correctly Nilesat at focus, 7e at B and 28e at C. I do not think your arrows showing the incoming directions of the waves and signals are correct --- but that is not critical for practical purposes; it is more relevant for theoretical understanding.

@ Enigma
thanks just what i needed. . . a push in the right directions

The attached file was drawn up by a kind poster on satellites.co.uk; see http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dish-setup-guides-information-threads-faqs/133694-offset-lnb-monobloc-lnb-guide-pdf.html

It will give an idea of how satellite signals are reflected (as with a mirror) in a multi-LNB set up.

I will post something equally interesting in the next post.

If I've got this to work, you should see a Raven 90 dish with 7 LNBs on it though it can actually receive from 8 satellites as one of the LNBs get signals from 2 different satellites.

Starting from extreme left right as we look at it: 1w, 5e, 7e & 9e, 13e (centre), 16e, 19e, 28e.

Nice work. Kindly eplain ur work, pls

Bamsat: Nice work. Kindly eplain ur work, pls

Hi, sorry I haven't been in this section in a while.

That dish setup is based in the UK where European satellites are much easier to receive. The picture was posted in the "early" days when multi-LNB setups were not common or well known among members here. Now, I've seen very good examples/pictures and quite capable people here.

Anyway to exlain the setup:

- the dish is a Raven 90cm (very good dish)
- the central LNB is focused at Hotbird 13e
- the other LNBs in that picture received (IIRC) 1w, 7e, 9e, 16e, 19e & 28e.
- I've since added one more LNB so now on that dish I receive: 1w (sometimes), 5e, 7e & 9e (on one LNB), 13e, 16e, 19e, 28e.
- apart from that dish, I also have a small dish on a motor for receiving Western satellites that I can't receive on the dish in the picture

If there is anything else you'd like me to clarify, I'd be happy to.

Ah, after posting above I realise that the picture is actually the later version with 7 LNBs; I had posted another version earlier before with fewer LNBs.



EDIT Actually, my confusion was due to the fact that I thought only the picture had been moved to this thread; now I realise my whole post was moved --- how did that happen? Perhaps the mods have the ability to move posts from one thread to another?

Enigma am really happy you are back.

Cheers Obnelly

I swas spending time engaged in quite some ruckus on the religion thread; I'll try to pop in here more.

Meanwhile nna men, guys have gone far here oo; quite nice.

[size=15pt]Holy lampard!!.... I dnt undastand a bit of all this Lnb,crtv,pdptv blar blar blar, i think i need a tutorial! [/size]
