Came home from work on Friday to find an eviction letter from my landlord as he decided to sell the flat. So, that means I have to move ... somewhere.
Due to a complicated personal situation, I will move most of my larger stuff into storage and smaller stuff to my parents' house, including the two dishes.
Temporarily, at least, I will be moving to a friend's place in London, who lives in a 2nd floor flat of a Victorian building conversion. The flat is generally north facing but the kitchen is east facing with what looks like line of sight from around 28E to 9E (maybe 5E). Small, but generally enough for me. As it's only a temporary situation and a Victorian house, I don't want to mount a massive Penta 85 motorised dish for such a small arc with no weak satellites in between, plus a Sky dish will blend in with other mini-dishes already on the building.
I was thinking of getting a Zone 2 mini-dish and setting it up for 28E (quad output for Sky box), 19E, 13E and 9E (all single output). To attach the dish to the kitchen wall, I would probably need to hang out of the window to drill and attach. I can set the dish/LNBs up elsewhere prior to attaching the dish to it's semi-permanent location, so alignment process will be minimal.
I think I will need a slim LNB to get 13E and 9E but do I need one slim LNB or two? Will there be enough space for one normal LNB and one slim-type? I have enough of normal LNBs so don't want to spend more money than I need.

Also, I would need a multi-LNB holder - will something like this fit a zone 2 mini-dish? eBay - 260923814697
If someone has a multi-satellite Zone 2 dish set up, can you recommed a good set of brackets/LNBs? Anything else I would need to consider? What would be the best LNB arrangment?
