0.8w 13e 19e and 28.8 on sky dish?

[flickerrr]

Hi there folks iv just got myself one of these boxes and have been reading up on all but have few questions still

My current dish is approx 70cm wide x 60cm high (is this the sky zone 2 dish?)

Would like to know my next best step please - is it possible to keep existing dish and add to it to enable me to get more sats. I think i can get 13e and 19e handy enough but what about 0.8w? Do i go monobloc or should i get single lbns and a holder?

Or is dish not big enough and shud i go motorised?

Please any advice be great

Many thanks

welcome to the forum

plenty of info on this in the dish and lnb forums including some pretty pictures, as its not actually a spiderbox question, but a dish reception question

moved to there

yes it sounds like a zone 2 dish

no I dont think you will get 0.8w, but you never know until you try

the other 3 can be easily got with the dish (well I did it anyway, read my thread)

yes a motor is better

[satwyn]

your weakest sat would be .8w and on a 60cm dish not ideal

[flickerrr]

.8w would just be a bonus - can you tell me do i need special lbns that will work with my sky dish - i think i read they are different to normal lbns due to shape of dish?

or would i be better with monobloc sorry?

You may be pushing it with 0.8° west maybe pick the strong TP's up but anything else probably not, The Zone 2 is ideal for multi-lnb due to it being around 70cm wide and 60cm high the best lnbs to use are the Sly ones as the feedhorn is perfectly matched to this shape of dish a standard LNB is not.

[flickerrr]

So next question is which sly lnb?! Is the new mk4 ok for my dish or do i need one suitable for zone 2?

You would probably struggle to get a Single output Sly LNB anymore as all are now either quads or Octo's so the quad will work absolutely fine.
