Multiple satellites for Dish TV and Sun Direct

[RLOA]

Hello,

I'm a beginner in the satellite world so pardon me if this is already answered somewhere.

The Lyngsat packages show that Dish TV and Sun Direct use multiple satellites for transmission:

Dish TV - NSS 6 at 95.0°E and G-Sat 15 at 93.5°E
Sun Direct - G-Sat 15 at 93.5°E and Measat 3 at 91.5°E

How is it possible to receive the channels from two different satellites if the dish antenna is pointing to a single direction (and therefore a single satellite)? Or is this a mistake by Lyngsat?

Regards

Dish TV is currently using 2 satellites. As the satellites are very close to each other and signals are also very strong easily a customer can get the signals of both satellite via single LNB.

Which satellite is the dish antenna aligned to at the time of installation then? In between the two satellites?

I hunt sun direct+ DDFD both
With signal up to 60%

dishtv also uses asiasat5 so total 3 satellite

Interesting! So 3 satellites in total? What are the azimuth, elevation and LNB skew values of your dish setup?

Neither Lyngsat nor Flysat mentions this. Is there a better website for tracking the satellite changes? Quite possibly the "Dish TV package has left" the AsiaSat 5 if Flysat is to be believed.

asiasat 5 is no more used by dishtv it has vacant all the tps on asiasat 5

Really don't know
I just enter TP Detail and push my dish here and there ,when signal showing than I locked Dish
