How to determine combined elevation of a dish which has a monoblock Ku LNB ?

How to determine elevation of a dish which has a monoblock Ku LNB ie 2 LNBs like the one used by Dish TV ?

Dish elevations are as follows :
NSS6 at 95e (Elevation=49)
INSAT4B at 93.5e(Elevation=50)
ASIASAT5 at 100.5e(Elevation=45.5)

How to determine combined elevation ,so that all the 3 satellites are visible ?By the way all these work with the same Monoblock LNB of DishTV.

Can any some Dish master answer this as it is a technical question ?

Thanks

First set ur dish @ NSS6 at 95e
then try below setting for Multi LNB Setting...

Thanks.
Just a clarification ,are these settings while standing in front or back of the dish ?

Other FTA signals with DishTru STB

Hi All,

Is it possible to watch FTA channels from other satellites besides NSS6/INSAT4B/ASIASAT5 using a DishTru STB Receiver ?

I have heard there is some trick.So could some expert share that trick here ?

Thanks

Ku band Signal Level vs Signal Quality

Hi All,

What is the difference between "Signal Level" and "Signal Quality" ?

Which is the minimum percentage required for each ie Signal Level & Signal Quality to get a decent picture with a Ku LNB and a Ku offset dish ?

This seems to be quite confusing as I have seen pictures of some one getting a decent picture with the following :
Signal Level=90%
Signal Quality=10%

How is it possible to get a picture with Signal Quality=10% ??

Thanks to experts in Advance

Thanks for the link Sarkar.
One question still remains unanswered in both threads ie What is the minimum percentage of Signal quality needed to get a decent picture in case of Ku band ?

RE: Biggest and smallest Ku dish

Please let me know whether is it possible to receive HD channels in DishTruHD+ STB with a monoblock lnb using tatasky (60-65 cm) provided dish. My location is India-Bangladesh border Mizoram. I am currently using TataSky and planning to move to DishTruHD+.

no way... it's not possible.. better you buy a new MPEG4 STB.. then start sat hunting without any problem..
