Hi
Can you receive both Astra 19.2 and Hotbird 13e using a monoblock LNB on a 60cm dish? I am in London.
Would the results be satisfactory or would I need a bigger dish?
Many thanks

monoblocks are designed for an 80cm dish so you have to lengthen the arm on a 60cm dish or use an lnb rack or adjustable multi lnb adapter instead with a diseqc switch
if you look at the sticky threads there are examples with pictures of doing this with a zone 2 dish

5777557776A 4 degree monoblock works on a 60cm dish not zone 2 Sky or a 57cm orbital have fitted over 20
You can even do a triple with an Inverto LNB bracket

Try it on your 60 first, most work ok but as said some have shorter feed arms and lose some of the deflected signal because of the reduced angle.
A few years back I bought a couple of 55cm dishes with short feed arms and the signal was weak on the secondary feed.
