Trying to set up 1m fixed dish with three LNB's

13e 19e 28e

Found 19e okay but when I setup either side looking for 13e and 28e both seem to find 28e

any ideas why?
only using basic satfinder (bleeper kind) and receiver
 
This is how it should look from a set up i did a couple of years ago on a 90cm dish for 28East-19East & 13East.

Thanks for reply & pics,
Looking at them are the tw closest together 19 & 13e ?
Also looks like your LNB's are tilted??

Regards & thanks
 
I found it best to do each Lnb seperately via a single cable then connect the DiSEqC swich afterwards,

Make sure you or someone else can see either the signal bars on either your receiver or via signal meter,

Just aim for maximum signal on 19.2 east by adjusting the dish left & right & Declination up & down do a scan & check that you have ZDF HD on 11347 V DVB-S2/8PSK 22000 2/3,

Then connect the Lnb to the return cable to 13 east use 10775 H DVB-S/MPEG-2 29900 5/6 Real Time Italia +1 as the symbol rate is unique to 13 east,

Now 28 east BBC 1 & 2 HD 10847 V DVB-S2/8PSK 23000 2/3

Using these transponders will assist in setting up on the correct satellite.
 
Thanks Merlin, have got as far as 19e
Astra 28e is easy it is just Hotbird 13e wherever I seem to get strong signal with cheapo satfinder it always turns out to be 28e
will have to leave it till next weekend now as I've had enough today and evenings are dark when I'm home from work

Regards & Thankks
