gotta start somewhere

You might give this thread by LinuxMan a read-through, to see if it is sorta what you are looking for.
He put 123º and 129º on a Primestar, and did a lot of thinking out loud.
Should give you some initial ideas.

This later thread is a lot cleaner, 'cause he already knew what he wanted to do, and just did it.
It deals with getting 87º and 97º on one dish.

Give 'em a look and if it's not quite on-target, I'm sure there are other good references.

Do a search for Primestar because there are a few threads on Primestar dishes.. But, I don't recall any threads with more than two lnb's..

You should check out Mike's website at.. http://www.global-cm.net/
