76cm dish

[alucard1983]

can a round 76cm dish with a magic braket pick up 91,110,119?

[Terryl]

Possibly, but a round dish has a round focal point, this means that the outside LNB's will be starved for signal as they will be outside the prime focus area of the dish.

It would work better on an elliptical dish, (looks like a small radar dish) say a 24" X 33" this way the outside LNB’s are inside the prime signal area.

Also be sure that the dish has a receive beamwidth of at least 30 degrees or you may miss a satellite.

depending on your location, but in most cases it should be OK

start with the middle LNB (110W) and (standing behind the dish) add 91 on right and 119 on left of 110
76 cm = @ 30 inches... that's nice size to modify

good luck with it.

ya its round... maybe ill get a small one for 91

[alucard1983]

im pointed at 159 degrees. im 85 s on 119 and 110 but i was unable to get 91 maybe if moved the dish from 159 to about 149 and then use the extra arm on the magic bracket and use the arms for the 3 sats

It's a matter of the dishes receive beamwidth guys, a round dish does not have the receive beamwidth to pick up 3 satellites that are 28 degrees apart, 110 and 119 are only 9 degrees apart, the dish may work for them but 91 is 28 degrees from 119 (do the math) this is far outside any round dishes receive beamwidth.

To properly receive all these satellites at once on one dish you’re going to have to point it at a position half way in-between 91 and 119.

I would use it for 91W and get a Dish 500 with a twin LNB on it for 110W and 119W, this will work out better in the long run.

middle would be 153.9 only 6 degrees off from what i have it.. accually double looking its a 36" dish... not a 31 inch.. gonna measure it brb

[alucard1983]

nm its a 90 cm dish hehehehehhe.... i forgot..

[Terryl]

Go to dishpointer.com, enter your address and zoom into your location, select the 91W, 110W and 119w satellites It will give you the correct pointing information on these 3 satellites for your area.

But I still say your wasting your time on this type of dish for 3 satellites.

I think your best bet would be the original suggestion made by Terry and get an elliptical dish.

[alucard1983]

im just gonna get a small 18 inch for 91.... just a small one.. 911 is really strong where i am

From the responses it sounds like three sats is an iffy proposition.

What about a round Winegard 76-cm dish to pick up just 110 and 119? Do brackets exists for that sort of thing?

76cm dish will work fine for 119/110, however you will need to manufacture your own bracket or use a "Magic Bracket".
