I'm hoping to be able to receive programs from Intelsat 19 as I'd like to watch some of their programs which are not streamed.
I'm in Auckland and I've got a 90cm dish pointed at Optus D1 with a single LNB
My existing LNB is one of the old Sky NZ ones with the round front and it's still going strong after about 20 years.
My receiver has 8 DVB-S/S2 tuners each of which can be configured independently for the LNB it is connected to and my receiver is a Vu+ Duo 4k and the menu system looks like it has Multiple LNB control (Diseqc) so hopefully it can switch a Diseqc switch between the two LNB's
I think I'd probably be best to add a new LNB (presumably Ku-band) and combining the coax cables using a Diseqc switch rather than getting a dual LNB abnd trying to tweak the holders to line things up. I'm reasonably practical and if necessary I might even be able to persuade a mate of mine to manufacture a holder to ensure that the IS19 LNB is pointing in the right direction.
Can anyone on this forum let me know
- If a 90cm dish is going to be big enough to get a decent signal from IS19?
- If this is the best way to go?
I'm too recent to be allowed to post links, but this is the satellite I'm trying to receive from: lyngsat.com/Intelsat-19.html
