Hi, I have a regular size dish (I'm not sure if it's 18" or 22") that's currently pointed at 118.8/119. The lnb on it is installed on a bracket with 3 slots namely for 110, 119, 129. Currently, the only slot on the bracket that's being used is the 118.8/119. I would now like to add a second lnb to the bracket for the 110. In other words, my bracket would have two lnbs as follows: (110), (118/119), (empty slot). My question is, since my dish is already pointing to 119/118.8, is it only a matter of attaching the second lnb to the slot marked 110 in order to receive the 110 together with 118/119? Will it come in automatically or must I slightly play around with the elevation and azimuth to hit both birds simultaneously?

Thanks

Should come in if everything is set correct:Remember the birds are not stright across the sky, you may have to adjust the dish by turning it to the right.

Thanks "hawk2", for your reply. Since my dish is already pointed at 119/118.8 it should be a straight forward process to receive 110 after adding the second lnb to my bracket.

the position of the 110 LNB on the bracket is usually enough to align the sat ...

install the 110 LNB and check for signal quality... u might need to fine tune it (adjusting dish pointing) ... but in most cases not needed

a bigger dish also helps in catching a better signal quality...

Thanks, for the reply, it seems pretty straightforward. I'm going to install the lnb bracket for 110 & 119/118 this week.
