Triax multiblock lnb holder

If they weren’t transmitting would I still get the channel though in channel list just obviously not broadcasting tho? It’s same with Sky bundasliga. I only get the one channel no others in the list. Maybe I need to wait until weekend and do another scan?

Scan the Bundesliga channels in at the weekend when the live matches are on.

With Automatic scan 19.2E Astra 1KR/1L/1M/1N .I would scan 1237 channels
Your installation , are you sure your azimuth
Angle elevation Angle skew angle are 100 percent. Depending on what reciever image
you are using there is a plugin you can install
from system plugins called DISEQC TESTER
You can check that there is successfully readings between the Low Band V and H
And High Band V and H off your transponders

I’m using v8 uhd. I could probs dig out an old enigma 2 stb to test setup. My 1m dish is focused at 16e and I have had to slightly mod the multi lnb holder to get it to fit. I recall having same problem on 28.2e now trying to get tnt hd many months ago. A Member of forum with ‘Abu’ in his name advised not to do scan through diseqc switch or with other devices powered on. Which worked. I’m wondering if I’m having the same issue again as I can pick up the transponders just not all channels on them? Love this hobby but it’s frustrating at times and you need photographic memory. Ha.

Have V8uhd myself never use .Many knowledgeable satellite enthusiasts on the
Fourm .A good screen shot would really be
The way forward

I have still been tinkering with multi lnb set ups.

Using a Maximum E-85 Multifocus Satellite Dish

On lnb arm I have a triax multiblock lnb 13e, 16e and 19. 2e connected to a 3 way fully pass through splitter, the 3 outlets to port 1 = 16e, port 2 = 13e and port 3 = 19.2e on a 8 x 1 diseqc switch.

2 single 23mm lnbs 1 to 23.5e port 4 and 1 to 28.2e port 5.

I have also had 9e working , but at the moment need more lnb holders to fix on lnb rail.

When fully set up the cables will be tidied up.

I gave up with the triax multi-lnb holder and the Zone2, as I kept loosing signal on 28.2E in heavy rain or if the wind picked up.

Ended up putting the 80cm triax back up with a motor on it and fitting the Zone 2 fixed on 28.2E above it.

How is the triple monoblock working with 13e 16e and 19 ? Particularly interested in its 16e performance.

Ive installed one for a neighbour but never really used one to know if worked well, it always looked like an ideal solution for getting those 3 sats. Designed for a 85ch dish from what ive read i installed it on a Zone 2.

I have been getting signal strength 60%.
I found using Triax multiblock lnb on both a Triax 80cm dish and the Maximum E-85 Multifocus dish.
I have modified the lnb holding brackets on both dishes getting better results.

I am still tinkering, so I believe a better signal is possible.

If the monoblock has built in Disqec switch
Would it not be better connected as a separate
Supply .Then the other l.n.bs connected through
The 8×1 Disqec switch with its own supply

I use the 8 x 1 diseqc switch to allow other satellites to work on my reciver, at the moment 5 satellites are connected to the GTmedia V8 uhd, hoping to set up more.

The more connections the weaker the signal
If you where using twin tunner reciever it would
Give you better opitions

Thank you for your advice, I only have the 1 lnb in on the GTmedia V8 uhd
