[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1098409, member: 330868"] I got my hands on a couple of the Eco LNBs. They do work pretty nicely on the Zone 2 and allow me to get them close enough for proper 19.2°E and 13°E reception. As you say, they're very very light and dirt cheap! However I've realised that it's only optimal with 19.2°E as the LNB in focus. The screw of the main LNB mount stops any LNB from being able to get close enough for the 6° separation on the left hand side! Has anyone got around this with a different LNB mount/bodge on the Zone 2 (I'm just using a cheap 40mm adapter one found on Ebay, which looks basically the same as the 38mm in terms of screw placement)? Having said that, instead of 7°E-13°E-19.2°E I'm now more interested in 13°E-19.2°E-28.2°E so this won't be an issue (can easily get close enough for 9° separation on the screw side). Got another Eco on order, I think they look pretty neat as they're so minimal, and I quite like the green cap :D [/QUOTE]
