[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 992427, member: 176704"] Zone TBH, I have to agree with that using a Zone 1 (the smaller one) dish for this task is not the best approach - the larger Zone 2 version would probably be better (not tried), but a normal 80cm (possibly a 60cm?) elliptical dish is a much better bet as it will gather more signal. Edited: OTOH, if you don't want 19E (possibly that was a mistake on my part to assume that you might) then a Zone 2/60cm/80cm dish with one LNB on the left side for 28E and one to the right for 13E might be a good bet - but you might well still need another LNB on the dish arm onto which to fix the new support arm, and that might as well be for 19E and then get the "optional bonus" of the channels from there! However, you might still get away with a minidish if you can mount the support arm on the main LNB, but that will be difficult because the minidish arm is specifically designed to take a dedicated 28E (Sky/Freesat)-fitting LNB and, AFAIK, it could be difficult to fit the support arm to one of those because of the body design.
