[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1099259, member: 330868"] Yes it’s a 40mm adapter that came with a 40mm LNB off EBay (I think they’re sold as Sky twin output LNBs and are obviously not official) I have some TM-1s knocking about but they are a little ‘chunkier’ than the Inverto Ecos at the cap end so harder to get close enough together for 13°E and 19.2°E, plus they’re a bit heavier. You could put 28.2°E at the centre but it’s so strong in the UK that you don’t really need to on the Zone 2 in my experience (central/southern England). I’m getting pretty much the same C/N ratio on the 28.2°E transponders as on 19.2°E at the focal point. Around 16dB. In terms of the rail used, it was just a bog standard multi satellite bracket off eBay like this one - [URL="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174367093010"]Multi-LNB Holder for All Satellite Dishes Hotbird (Holds up to 3 LNBs) | eBay[/URL] [/QUOTE]
