Fortec star dish

[rangerdan]

I have a Fortec star dish I bought with a coship receiver. Iwas just curious as to range of the dish while setup on T5. I get T5 well, but was wondering if I can get T6, G3 or G4. They are close to T5 but was not sure if dish had enough range.

Do you use the dish with h-h mount? If it is fixed, you can only get 1 sat at a time. You can try to make it become a fixed multiple sats dish, but it's not an easy task to do.

Yes, I have a fixed mount. My original intention was just to get the ethnic channel for my wife, but since the other sats are positioned as close as they are was kind wondering it I could get enough signal from them. With the trouble I had getting good signal on T5 I did not think I would get the others.

It depends on how big the dish is. I modified my oval Primestar dish as a fixed multiple sats type. It has 3 lnbfs on it. I get lock on G11R, T5 and AMC1.

It takes lot of time to find righ position for the side lnbfs. If you have time, give it a shot. If you look for easy solution, get a h-h mount.
