Hi. I have 3 questions if someone could be so kind to review? I'm based in merseyside uk

1) can you get 23.5 on a sky zone 2 dish with a decent reception?

2) what size dish will I need for 13 east, will I get away with a 60/65 cm? If so what brand?

3) what's the difference between the long thin LNBs and the normal fat lnbs? Will a normal or thin one work on a sky oval dish?
 
1) Probably - 23.5E is a very strong signal in the UK

2) Again a 60 cm dish may well work - you could even try an offset lnb for 23.5E on a 13E aimed dish

3) Sky dishes being oval require Sky lnb's which have feedhorns machined for oval dishes. Other lnbs will work but at reduced efficiency as they are not illuminating the dish correctly
 
Perfect. Thanks, that explains why my normal lnb is crap on the zone 2 dish!
