Variable width monobloc

Yes, seen before. Looks good but have reservations regarding skew setting at the full 15 degs.

Very good point there, to get by this they would have had to do what Thomson done with their single $ky LNB with the case staying put but the end user being able to turn the LNB inside the case to adjust skew & have the same for the offset. If I gave this a bash on my 80cm the weaker Eurobird channels such as Movies for Men+1 would be goners due to the wrong skew position.
 
Yeah - probably wouldnt work terribly well at full extension where the offset is a weak signal, but mid point would work ok - especially if you are after the main Euro birds.
 
The other thing I noticed was the lack of curve in the extendable bridging section, sorry its sounds like I have a grudge against this product, but I'm just pointing out what could be improved!
 
It's really just 2 separate LNBs joined by a sliding bracket. It doesn't even have a DiSEqC switch built in.
 
Even without a curve it'd be better than the two lnb's I had zip tied together (for 13E/9E) a while back!

I thought you still had that setup on one of your dishes, was it a 80 or 90 you had that on mate?
 
It was replaced a while back. It had been on my 80cm 13E dish.

I wanted 10E as well so I stuck an extra 1m dish up :D

Yes noticed that.

A very good description of exactly what it is. Personal preference would be individual LNb's where there is more adjustment. Nice idea though and certainly cheap enough to have a play.

That's the thing I like about it as I use 8 way switches with a couple of spare ports so this would be an ideal addition to one of my dishes.
