I have purchased a monoblock lnb in order to receive 19.2 and 23.5. I am looking for some help with the settings here. Any help appreciated.

Is that all I have to do. Do I need to specify the satellites ? the bottom 2 values are as follows
Set voltage and 22KHz yes
Send DISeqC only on satellite change No

Are these correct?

Leave the other options as they are.

I'm trying this on an 80cm dish using a 4.3 degree monoblock. Any Experience of this abu? Difficult or not would you say?:confused:

A monoblock LNB in essence is just two LNBs in one housing and a built-in diseqc switch. It will work, but dishes have different sizes, so it is impossible to tweak adjustment properly because they are one block. I have only ever used a monoblock for 13/19. Provided the dish is aligned properly, it is easy. Just clamp the correct LNB. Your response in the other thread shows a good understanding of the principles of multi-LNB setup.

Thanks abu. Set this up today and worked fine. I have a perfectly acceptable single on both 19.2 and 23.5 (about 75%) so job done. :thumbsup:
