I got a SonicView 8000 HD and I was wondering what would be the best setup to get the most SD/HD channels that I can get.

Right Now I have:

- Skuable Bev dish with 2lnb
- 24x18 ellipitical dish with 3lnbs and a straight 4lnb holder.
Upload
- a few DiSEqC switches & 2 Sw22 22KHZ switches.

On the bev dish I have 82, 91 aimed. On the ellipitical I have 110, 119 aimed. I tried to get 129 aimed on the ellipitical as well but Im having no luck with that 4lnb bracket. Would this curved kind of bracket work? I saw it on ebay.. it claims its guaranteed to work. Just wondering if anyone has tried it before.

Maybe there is a different way to set it up?
Thanks

2 dishes required
1- for B#V 82,91
1- for D#N 110/119/129

Very difficult to get 4 satellites on one dish and almost impossible to get 5 sats with a 24" dish
It also depends on yor location and type of sat finder as well as yor installation skills
And even if yo get more than 3 sats
Very difficult to stay stable

How do I get 110/119/129? The 4lnb bracket is not spaced out correctly.

Is there a better bracket for the 3?

dish turbo can be slightly off
It's designed for 61.5/72.5/77
Not the best dish for 110/119/129
Only if these are the desired satellites

Yah, all I want to get on the one dish is 110/119/129.

How do I do this on an 24x18 ellipitical dish? People say it can be done... but I dont know what bracket to use.
