Hotbird, Astra and Eutelsat on same dish

Hi @paul.romsky

The lnb holders you are using are very good.
I have used them in the past and I can say that have many options
for moving and finding the best position (and best signal).
They are very stable but a little heavy giving unnecessary weight to the arm of the dish.
Because of that, they can't be used for a project with many lnbs.
Moreover, you can't use it for satellites with long distance from the central lnb.

I recommend this universal multifeed holder with 3 Brackets.
It's very cheap , about 4-5 euro, very lightly and very stable.

In addition to the nice bracket suggested by kalpikos, I recommend using a 1 meter dish or larger.
Put the Astra in the middle (being the weakest satellite for your location).
Remember that for satellites on west of Astra, the LNBs go on the east side.

Here is an example of the slim LNB

That bracket above will not give you a 3° spacing the holders are too large to get close together, i should know i use those Inverto branded ones myself.

The Inverto LNB's that BM300 shows with the multiconnect kit will give you the 3° spacing you require
