Re: Hotbird 13 degrees - Technomate - Sky HD box

If it's a dual/quad output single LNB then it shouldn't matter.. If though it's a single output and then split then one box will dominate the polarization. It should still though find some of the channels??

How did you point the sat to 13E? Did you use a sat finder or just line it up hoping for the best? Also ignore the signal meter on the reciever as most of the time they are measuring gain/quality or something else entirely different, you need a sat finder to make sure that you are on the right sat..

Looking at the footprint even a 50cm dish should get hotbird 13E all the way upto the top of the UK mainland
