[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 275528, member: 199791"] Looking on Maplin's site, they don't specify whether or not you can use a standard 40mm LNB or not (the FAQ only lists a question about a sky minidish LNB, the answer being "Yes but the dish will only perform like a small offset dish. (LNB only looking at a small portion of the dish) ", erm, no it won't!!! :-rofl2 ), so is the feedhorn an option or can a cheapskate like me just use a bog-standard 40mm LNB? I'm not planning on getting one of these by the way, I have nowhere to put it up!!! :D [/QUOTE]
