Multi LNB static setup

Chris230291 · Jan 26th 2019

Hi guys. New to satellite.

I am looking for hardware recomendations. I want a multi LNB static dish setup. I like in the UK and I am interested in astra 2 and hotbird. Id also like any recomendations for other sats I could pick up that can be decrypted either with softcams or sharing and have english speaking shows. I was looking at getting 4 quad LNBs and linking all of the LNBs with a diseqc switch, so 4 feeds (going to a quad PCIe tuner card). I have also seen these unicable LNBs but not sure how they would work with diseqcs and the tuner cards and they are much more expensive.

Any recomendations are apreciated.

Hi Chris,

I look statically on following satellites:

28°E , 23.5°E, 19.2°E, 16°E, 13°E, 10°E, 9°E, 4.8°E, 1°W, 4°W, 5°W. Works fine with 1to8 diseqc and dual tuner on either ZGemma H9.2S, DVB-S2 PCI card and various other receivers. I use a Maximum T85 dish with various 23mm rocket feed LNB's.

Nice setup. Maybe throw a few zip ties on those wires?

great setup. im gonna put Hispasat today here in Ireland and use spare sky dish that is on 28.2 E to Astra 19.2. You think it can get hotbird too or is too small? thanks

A zone 2 sky dish is 80cm (zone 1 is 60cm) wide, a while back i motorised a zone 2 and had no problems with 23.5 - 19.2 - 16 - 13 east - 0.8w - 30w

You could also pick up other sats, but those are the strongest / popular ones, depends where you are for some sats, my results are from Essex.
