1 lnb for 2 satellites 4 degrees apart true?

[fzyn]

Hello all.

I am just starting my satellite tv experience and I have seen from Satellite AV/GloryStar that their SL1 Bullet LNBF can receive 2 satellites that are 4 degrees apart. I am curious if that is true... If it is true does one point the dish in between the 2 satellites and adjust the skew rotation for inbetween the satellites? I would like to receive History and Biography channels on SES1 if possible in conjunction with GloryStar programming

Your help is much appreciated

welcome

You would need 2 LNB's to get both. Glorystar use to sell a 2 LNB setup but now that all the channels are on one satellite (97W) it looks like they dont
Here is their 2 LNB holder
Free Christian Satellite Television - No Monthly Fees from Glorystar Christian Satellite!

and you'd have to add another LNB to the package

Back when the channels were split I did a review on the item

but like I say everything is on one satellite now

Their package will be capable of receiving both the two sats you want. Personally if it was me I would start a 1.2m motorised system for your local

Trouble with monoblocks...
- this one has a single output, so you could never run two receivers with it
- LNB spacing is critical based on your latitude, and if the two birds are near the top of your arc or near the ends
- LNB spacing is critical based on the dish you use (size), and its focal length.

So, monoblocks are great for non-critical circular DBS, ...
... or for situations where all the variables are taken into account.
