[QUOTE="garym71, post: 462329, member: 262344"] Thanks for your comments guys :) Neatness was actually one of the main priorities seeing as I have a south facing house so the only realistic option was to mount it on the front facing the street. It's why the installation is neater and took longer than it would if I'd been able to put it on the back of the house. I initially took a gamble and went for the 70cm dish but was prepared to go to a 90cm if the signal level/quality turned out to be poor. Luckily the 70cm is doing the job really well so I will be sticking with it :) I am down in the south of the UK so that probably helps. I actually got the dish from Falcon International Satallites in North London for Ј29 (inclusive of VAT) although I'm afraid I can't really recommend them to anyone because they took forever to deliver it. The ability to contact them, and their level of customer communication also leaves a lot to be desired. If you do a google for "Raven Gemini 70cm Mesh Dish" you will see quite a few UK suppliers come up so maybe better to choose someone else. To answer the question about 13.0E, 16.0E & 19.2E on the multi LNB brackets, then even with thin LNB's it would be a no-go on the Raven LNB holders without some kind of serious modification. The centre 19.2E holder and the offset 13.0E holder on mine are physically touching each other (as are the feedhorns) so there is no way you would ever get another LNB in between them. Maybe a 90cm dish would allow the holders to be moved further apart with the focus not on the centre of the dish but still with good level/quality signals. I don't actually know so I guess it would be a case of trial and error. [/QUOTE]
