[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1110528, member: 416667"] Hi all, I currently have a Zone 1 minidish that I use for Sky Q along with their hybrid lnb and I am looking to add on a second or possibly third lnb. I'm quite new to this so have a few questions. With the Zone 1 dish, realistically what would be the max width/span that I would be able to cover? I currently have a spare Inverto Ultra Black lnb and an old Sky Quad LNB. I've seen the alps lnbs, I'm happy to buy them if that means I can squeeze in more. I'm quite interested in getting 19.2e, if I could say squeeze 13e on to that dish too that would be great. In terms of multi bracket options, I've been recommended the Gibertini Multi 4 (below). As my Hybrid Lnb is 37mm, if I was to tape around it, would that be secure? [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Robust-Multi-4-Way-LNB-HOLDER-Gibertini-MF-2140-beware-of-copies/332334361915?hash=item4d60abed3b:g:7u8AAOxyx-BSaliT']Robust Multi 4 Way LNB HOLDER - Gibertini - MF-2140 / beware of copies[/URL] A few people have recommended to me just using tape/cable ties to add the second lnb. And if my Sky Q lnb is not secure in a 40mm holder, I'm quite open to that. What I am curious is, if it is possible to tape 2 lnbs to one side, so get 19.2e and 13e with 28.2e in the centre? I'd be interested to know if that could work on either the Zone 1 or Zone 2 dish. Alternatively I have looked at the lnb holders like the one below.
