23.5°E

Receiving 23.5 East

Problem: the HD channels of the Dutch television broadcasting, as well as the local channels, are beamed down at 23.5E from the Astra satellite. How can we fit 28E, 23.5E, 19.2E and 13E on one dish?

Four LNBs seem to fit but on a closer look...

... it appears that the LNBs can't even be properly seated.

Even though we used the narrowest LNBs, cramming them in front of a Visiosat mirror does give signal (80%) but no quality (0%) and hence... no channels.

A cunning trick: For 28.2, 23.5 and 19.2 don't use part of the LNB holder that is used in the right (13E) position.
