HELP Multiple lnb setup on single dish

[Deepu]

i want categorically as5 fta channel list and st2 fta channel list individually. it would be great if you mention them separetely here. at what angles these satellites should be targeted to receive fta channels along with my dd free dish
and dishtv fta. how many more lnbs should be there. i have solid mpeg2 sd stb with 4lnb support. i also need diseqc with 4 ports.

I don't see any FTA channels on AS5, not sure which channel you are looking for in AS5

If you have monoblock LNB, then you need 1 more normal LNB else you will need 3 separate LNB's. With MPEG2 STB, you will not get any channels from AS5 & ST2 as they mostly have MPEG4 channels

actually i looked for svbc and bhakti tv channels on fta. insat4a contains them. but with ur information in this thread ku band will not support to receive fta on insat4a i was disappointed. there two more telugu channels were also available.
to get more telugu channels what should i do. with monoblock lnb and mpeg4 stb in which satellite angles will i get more useful fta channels. i have now one single lnb support dd free dish and dishtv fta.

Except DD FD and few channels from Dish TV, you won't get any FTA channels on Ku band.

If you want more FTA channels, only option is to go for C band dish

will c band dish antenna support kuband lnb. i want to have 3-4 lnbs in cband dish.
cband lnb for insat4a,
kuband lnb insat4b&nss6 (combined in one as now i am using kuband lnb),
any nearby satellites.
what should be cband dish size to catch signals for my requirement. what is the cost including accessories.

 

[Deepu]

6 ft C band dish will cost 2800 - 3200 Rs
C band LNB - 350 Rs
Yes, you can also use ku band LNB on C band dish

 

[DashMajor]

Yes, you can also use ku band LNB on C band dish

So signal loss will be prevented if use C Band dish for Ku Band signals.

So signal loss will be prevented if use C Band dish for Ku Band signals.

We can use either C band or KU-band LNB on reflectors, just the size matters for the signal to be strong and stable.

 

[kitkatcadbury]

then will ku band dish antenna or reflector support c band lnb or vice-versa will also do? i want to have cband lnb on my kuband dish to pont insat 4a and a side lnb to point insat4b and nss6. i think according to the info given i should increase the dish (ku or c) size to capture all satellites. anyway thanks for giving info as and when i queried
