The dish and Bracket should be absolutely adequate for just those 3 satellites especially in the UK, infact a lot of people have on occasion just taped an lnb to the side of there 28.2° east lnb on a standard 43cm sky dish with zero problems.
Thanks for the reply. We spent hours trying to set it up without any luck :-)
I initially put on a single lnb and connected it straight to my Technomate which had 28.2e, 23.5e, 19.2e and 13e channels already installed. I turned the dish on the bracket until I had I picked up on channels on all four satellites and then marked the general direction of each satellite. I then did a scan and save on the freesat TV (Panasonic TX-L32D25) to pick up the euro channels that he wanted.
I was getting signal quality of around 55% on the euro satellites and 70-80% on 28.2e with the dish pointing at each satellite.
I then fitted the multi-LNB holder. I had marked up and set this up as per the Technomate guidance notes (abet the guidance notes were for a 80cm dish) and tried turning the dish to try and find a compromise position where I could pick up all three sats, but no joy. I also tried moving the lnb's on the holder, but again no luck. The only thing that I didn't try and change was the elevation of the dish (set at 23.6 degrees).
It was a cloudy day, but not so cloudy that I would have thought that it would have had a huge impact on signal quality.
I couldn't find the MotoGP live on FTA on 19.2e, so all in all, a fruitless weekend!
I've now ordered a 65cm (transparent) dish and see if I get more joy with a bigger dish.
the problem you face is the choice of channels the ones listed Eurosport germany on 19.2° est is encrypted and also Rai Sport 1&2 although generally FTA most of the time do encrypt these channels for big sporting events
I didn't know that Rai Sport is partially encrypted, although I thought that Eurosport Germany in SD is still FTA?
