Is it doable? 19.2e in the centre with 28.2 and 13 either side on a zone 2 mini dish? Will it work? Am in Consett.
 
Yep, easily done. You need a suitable offset bracket of course. There are several threads and images of similar setups in this section.
 
Never used one. I have seen a modified Gibertini bracket do the job though. Sure a universal bracket will be up to the job in hand.
 
You are better off using Sky lnb's - others wont illuminate the dish properly due to the oval shape of the dish.

Hope those invertos behave better than the similar shaped no name lnb Ive tried - mine are AWFUL in the rain!
 
Would 9e be gettable in addition to 28.2, 19.2 and 13 on a zone 2 minidish?

Probably need 2 multi lnb brackets.
 
Hello? Anyone? Would 5e and 1w work too or would it be beyond the capabilities of the dish?
 
Using two of these brackets on a 60cm minidish?

Don't think that you could get an arc from 28E to 1W on that dish. I go from 5W to 13E on a Penta 85 and that's just about at it's limits...
 
Raven Gemini 70 with E/W bracket would achieve that. These are perfect for LNb offset setup's, although not sure if the dish is still available now.
 
That website has a copyright at the bottom of 2005. That is 9 years ago. Could be an out of date page.

Think I will stick to 28 to 9. Not much on 5e and 1w anyway.

Daro I don't think much of the Inverto multi connect rail system, the LNB's are quite frankly........well sh#t really buddy.
 
The Inverto rail is only suited for their own LNBs mate, unless your "white trash" modding it mate?
 
MK4 dishes has a most disagreeable new arm/LNB holder system as well, what age is yours mate?
 
Here was mine from a while back: uploadfromtaptalk1412535768250.webp
 
Ghost leader.

There are 40mm bracket adapters for mk4 minidishes you know.

I would be using the multi lnb bracket like in the picture I uploaded in an earlier post on this thread not the Inverto bracket.

Haven't got any dish at the moment. Weighting up the options first. That and I am skint right now.
