Re: How to install 1-10 LNBs on a dreambox

I just installed 4 LNB's on my 100 cm dish. Is it possible to install 8 LNB's on this dish or do you prefer a bigger one or a seperate dish for the other 4 LNB's?

Once you start installing plenty LNBs on one dish, then there is need for a motorised dish.
You would have noticed that depending on your location (longitude), the Lnbs are rotated starting from ''0'' Position (as regards Skew) and the satellites you are aiming at.
In other words, you can aim at more stellites from the same dish if they are close in terms of degrees and also depending on the footprints.
You need to be really good to have 8 lnbs pointing to 8 different satellites from one dish.
