Hi Dave,Hi,
Been doing a lot of research etc and know a lot more now. @OldAgeTravellers is your Intelsat907 LNB at a particular angle to the others or can I simply buy a multi LNB bracket and fit it? I know the skew has to be 5oclock rather than 7oclock.
I’ve ordered the diseqc switch so will order a LNB bracket also and then try and set it up
Cheers Dave.
If you look at my pics you will see that I have used a 40mm pipe bracket popular in France and Spain for the Western one and a spare LNB clamp for the Eastern one. The position of this one for Astra2 is important for me because I want it and the iLNB for the satellite both to be aligned at the same time.
But for Intelsat just fit it to the side and with a bit of 40mm waste pipe about 50cm long make sure it is pointing at the centre of the dish which I marked with a sticky dot. As long as the LNB is pointing at the centre, is at the focus the same as the Astra2 one which you can do with a tape measure and of course the skew is about right then the Oyster will find Hipasat OK. I wouldn't bother with a multi LNB clamp they are too big and may cause a problem when lowering the dish. They are meant for static dishes.
You are only tuning to one satellite at a time so a fixed position is fine the Oyster will adjust rotation and elevation as long as it is getting the signal.
Best of luck,
Steve
