    Default new HD recieiver and a Toroidal T55 dish

    ok here is my plan. at end of month I plan on getting a Limesat hd air and a toroidal t55 to clean up the dishes.
    I plan on tuning in 82, 91,110, 119 and 129 so it makes sence that the first sat to tune would be the 110 as it is in the centre position ?
    Has anyone set up one of these dishes before?

    Thanks Rayble

    I think the degree spread you are trying to cover exceeds the capacity of this dish. You can cover up to 40° with a T55 so you might need an 18" to catch 82 or 129.

    It's advertised that it covers all 5 82-129
    will have to ask retailer

    110 would be your center sat to tweak and peak the dish to, everything else will be set by you on the LNB holder.

    A toroidal can handle the 47° spacing no problem...because all your sats are strong circular.

    The specs are more in line with setting up linear sats...at 40°.

    Keep in mind that you need reverse polarity circular lnb's...or modify the ones you have...to work on a toroidal dish.

    If you are a seasoned fta'er, the toroidal is an excellent dish, when setup properly.

    For the sats that you are after, an E-85 is a good alternative.
