Re: T5 AND G3 TOGETHER?

Multiple lnbfs on the same dish is not new, but for 2 degs aparts it's impossible to do so, even with 4 degs apart, you might need to use small lnbfs. Note: do not expect to get strong signal for the side lnbf since the focal length is not correct. It's Ok to do that for circular signal since DishNet sats are very strong. If one is interested in getting multiple sats, best way is still to use a H-H mount to move the dish.

I accidentally got both satellites at the same time on one LNBF, but it was very dependent upon weather and I have not been able to duplicate that lucky "accident" since.

Is there a place or a mod I can buy or make? Because the birds are very close to each other.
