setup question

[zirox]

What is the best way to get DN,bev and GC using the fewest number of dishes. I have a 30'' fortec star dish with one dual output lnbf and a **** 500 with 2 single lnbfs, also have another 18" dtv antenna with a single lnbf and a dual **** pro lnbf not used in the basement. I don't want to have a dish farm on the roof. Is there a good way to set this up with a single antenna and as many lnbfs as needed to pick up the above providers. Also, in addition to standard def. I am interested in picking up HD channels in the near future.
Currently own a fortec LFU, looking to upgrade soon. Any setup info or schemas are welcome. Thanks

you can buy a bracket to hold 3 lnb's but not sure if you can get one for those sats. look on some sponsor sites to see.

How To Using Digiwave Muti LNB Mount

How To Using Digiwave Muti LNB Bracket
Digiwave Super Bracket or Magic Bracket can connect up to 3 LNBF or more in order receive 3 or more different satellite signals in one dish.

All 3 LNBF can adjust up, down, forward, backward, left and right.
It should let your 18" dish as Dish 500.
It should let your DIGIWAVE 24"X 27" dish as SUPPER DISH.
It should let your Digiwave 33" or 36" dish as T55, T90.
It should let DSS, FSS and FTA satellite locate in one dish.
More and more.....

This Bracket can hold all kind of the LNBF.
Compatible with 30mm or 40mm LNBF
you can get 4 axes point’s adjustments: forwards/backwards, up/down, left/right, side to side.
How to setup 101,110, 119 DTV in one dish Using DIgiwave Mount
Here is what you need.....
A: 1-18”, 24” or 33” inch Digiwave dish

B: 3-LNBs. Using the Digiwave LNBF will work the easiest.

C: 1-Digiwave Super Mount I or Digiwave Magic Mount III

D: Measuring device. I used a tape measure. A ruler that can measure out 1/2 inch.

Here is what you do......

Connect all 3 Lnbf to Digiwave Super Mount. Now move it so it is about 1/2 inch higher than the first. Move it so it is about 1/2 inch higher than the second. The 1/2 inch does not have to be exact, but fairly close. Digiwave Mount has Ruler mark. Hopefully, between reading and looking at the pictures, you'll make it work. First time setup took quite some time to get it figured out.

The LNB on your right will be looking at Sat. 101, the middle one 110, and the left one
Will be 119. Mount the LNBF back to a dish. Mount the middle one to dish just like normal. As for tuning, hooked up Directv to the 101 LNB and tuned it till had signal. You could also hook up DISH to the 119 LNB and tune it in. Once you have one of them working, the other two LNBF WILL be seeing signal at its respective Sat. You will probably have to compromise on signal strength depending on where you are and what you are watching.

This is working for Dn 110, 119, 121 too. But, between 119 and 121 will more close and almost on the same level.

This is working for BEV 82, 91, 97 too.

We can add more Digiwave Super mount finger in order we can add more LNB to dish and receive more satellite in one dish. For example, we can put Dishnet 110,119,121, Bev 91 together. Or combine with FTA LNB and receiver DSS satellite and FTA satellite together.

How to setup 110, 119, 121 in one dish (super Dish) by using Digiwave Mount
Here is what you need.....
A: 24” or 33” inch Digiwave dish

B: 2 DSS DN circular Lnbf -LNBF. 1- ku-linear Standard LNBF Using the Digiwave LNBF will work the easiest.

C: 1-Digiwave Super Mount I or Digiwave Magic Mount III

D: Measuring device. I used a tape measure. A ruler that can measure out 1/2 inch. (Digiwave mount already mark the ruler on the holder)

Here is what you do......

Mounted the ku-linear Lnbf to the dish arm and mounted a 1/2" emt conduit pipe 6" long. I located and locked onto sat 121 with the highest quality possible and mounted the circular DN Lnbf for 119 to the right of 121 (looking at it from behind the dish) and then mounted the circular DN 110 Lnbf to the right of 119.

The brackets that hold the Lnbf are from 1/2" to 2" emt pipe clamps/brackets. With this kind of setup (Digiwave Mount) you can get 4 axes point’s adjustments: forwards/backwards, up/down, left/right, side to side. The quality for 110 will get from 90% to 100% , For 119 will get 80% to 98% and for 121 will get 70% to 95% depending on the transponder, But you would need to play with 119 to get the best quality you can for the both 119 and 121. With this kind of setup should get 82, 91, and 97 on one dish too.

Now you tell me. If I would had known that my house would not look like this...

Zirox, you can also get your self a motorized dish and set it to pick up a dozen sats.
