Hi All,

As you know my Monoblock LNB is my favourite instead of a single LNB and I keep on experimenting with both LNB A and LNB B

Since we can get satellites from 93e and 100e on a monoblock LNB ,I was aiming to get Telstar 18@138e and Laosat@128 on the Monoblock LNB but instead got Laosat on LNB A and Apastar6@134e on LNB B.

However,the setting has to be very precise as even with a slight touch of finger on the dish one or other satellite disappears.Even a slight change in skew can lead to one of the satellites disappearing.

For this type of setting we have to compromise on the signal quality.If we move the dish very slightly we can get almost 60% signal on either satellite.But to get both satellites signal of Laosat is reduced to about 45% to 50% on LNB A and that of Apstar6 to average about 30% with signal continously varying from 20% to 50% but with stable picture on the CETV FTA TP where as it is stable around 60% on the Radio TP .

This HD channel has serial "State of Affairs" in English(not dubbed) while earlier it was showing English serial "Suits"

Getting all 46 TV and 50 Radio channels from Apstar6@134e on LNB B which I usually get when the dish is moved to Apstar6 position :

This is Apstar6 Radio TP on LNB B with stable 60% signal .
This TP 12269 has mostly Chinese Radio Channels in Stereo quality.
Radio Channel 39 is China Radio International(CRI) in English.

My Dish is 75cm DishTV dish with Monoblock LNB.
I believe in getting maximum out of a small Ku dish as everyone is not going to buy big dishes as these days many people live in flats and dont have space for large dishes.

Back in my village in South Punjab I had lot of space and a 8 feet dish but here in the city I have only a small Ku dish in our balcony.
