Satellite Combo

[1beertap]

Is it possible to receive three satellites at the same time? What I mean is, with one LNBF. I'm picking up Galaxy 17, Nimiq 1 and Galaxy 25 at the same dish position. Did G25 or the others move a little? Of course, G17 and N1 are roughly at the same position and G17 is 2 degrees away. Any ideas?

No, you can't receive 3 Sats with 1 LNB on a non-motorized Dish.
Galaxy 17 is at 91 west
Nimiq1 is at 91 west
Galaxy 25 is at 93
It is possible to have Bleed Over on 2 adjacent Sats and a mis-aligned Dish, but you would prob not get all the TPs on Both Sats.
Galaxy 25 only has a handfull of active TPs.

I just thought it was weird that my Gbox lost counts on Galaxy 25 and the other satellite counts are fine. This is why I was asking if G25 had moved. I do understand that bleed over can occur. Thanks.

Azteca on G25 is very hot. I've seen where I wasn't peaked on 91 properly and got both sats at a decent signal

Iceberg, I'm glad to read I'm not the only one to capture both sats at one position. I'll make a note of that for future reference. Thanks guys.

85 is another tricky one for me. With no 24/7 TP I usually lock 83 or 87 too

dang I wish Dish would put up the test card again there
