    90cm GeosatPro multi lnb setup

    I was wondering if there are any 90cm Geosatpro users here who have had luck with multi lnb setups on this dish.I recently tried to add a second lnb to mine and its giving me a hard time.for example, Im trying to pick up 110 and 119.I have 2 circular LNB's and can obtain both by moving the dish.I added my multi lnb bracket to the mix and set 110 on the center and 119 to the side but cant seem to find a sweet spot for 119 reception.

    This dish seems to be forgiving for elavation, but azimuth seems touchy due to its slightly oval shape verticly.wondering if anyone else had a similar problem?

    I figured it out! standing behind the dish I had the center LNB aimed at 110.since 119 is to the right of the dish I figured the lnb had to be to the right.After searching for more info I realized it actually had to be to the left.
    I can lock in on both now with no problems!
    Can anyone explain this? I have a theory as to why but not 100% sure.

    Sure thing.Im going to try and set it up a little different today to pull in AMC 1 for the NBC feeds.Ill snap a picture and post it.Its a mount I bought with my dish, and its really adjustable in any direction but requires some modifying of the dish arm.

    The dish acts as a signal reflector (like a mirror). Off center satellite signal should have the LNBF mounted on the opposite side of the center LNBF.
