Hi,

I'm looking for a dish and multi LNB holder (and LNBs) for 28.2e, 19.2e and 13e. If possible I'd like to get 23.5e too (would that be the prime focus for Astra 3B?).

The Inverto Multiconnect looks good and I see Inverto also do a 90cm dish. The slim LNBs look good but it sounds like they can be affected by rain?

The Triax TD88 and multiblock also look good, but would the slim Inverto LNBs also be required?

Would either of these be suitable?

The location is near Newcastle and ~90cm is as big as I can go. One of the requirements is that the dish is white to match the house! ;-)

Many thanks.

This is a set up I had a few years ago on a 88 x 78 cm dish 28.2 east,19.2 east,13 east & 7 east with a 4 way DiSEqC switch,
You will need 3 slimline Lnb's for 28.3E, 23.5E & 19.2E with a normal Lnb for 13 east.
I hope this helps you.DSCF0518.JPG

Home made bracket mount with Lnb holders from a previous system.

I've got 13E, 19.2E, 23.5E and 28.2E on an 80cm dish using standard sized (Black Ultra) LNBs. 19.2E and 23.5E are touching each other though. A 90cm should be easier as the LNBs are spaced out a little further still.

On a 60cm dish I had to use Inverto Multiconnect slim LNBs for 19.2E and 23.5E though and I do find them a bit less sensitive in the rain so made a cover for them to keep the drops off the tip of the LNB.

I have 13e, 19.2e and 23.5e on a 98cm funke dish with the triple funke bracket but to be honest a universal or home made one would be as good as I had to bend the hell out of it. Plenty of room for 28.2 if I wanted but I have a mini dish.
I just got rid of Inverto Multiconnect due to the fact you loose almost all sats as soon as it rains.
I just set up 3 Smart Titanium Twin 0.1dB LNB's and they are great.
