Don't know if its possible
dish tuned to 28.2E
I would like to get 19.2E and 13E by adding 2 LNBs
may be too far separation?
Any pointers
1. is it possible and if so
2. where to get the holder

My Satellite Setup
Laminas 1.2M fibre dish with an IBU, on a Clarke Tech USALS motor, covering 57E - 24.5W to an Octagon SX88. Displayed on a 20" Dyon LED TV.

Seperate 80 cm dish on 28E with a Humax Freesat for SWMBO.
Free Sat V8 meter. Sony Bravia 46" LCD, Sony BluRay and Home Cinema.

AFIK Laminas only produce a multifeed for their 1.2M dish. Anything over this and you'd either have to modify a proprietary bracket or manufacture your own. However don't these two satellites come in fairly strongly at your location? Is it not possible to install a smaller dish (with bracket) alongside the large one?

What kind of LNB you have installed in the focus of that dish? Could you show couple of pictures? I think it is possible to make multifeed. I was on one roof some time ago tuning Lami 2.7m.

I think it is more than possible to make multifeed like that
Of course, original feedarm will not be modified.

I've made a little model of that multifeed. Imagine that piece of plywood is the feedarm. From the right side, in the same way another holder can be attached. Horizontal bars can be longer so they can hold couple LNBs each. And, of course such a nice dish deserves all parts to be INOX :)
