LNBs for Torodial dish.

[Gav]

Hey all.

So I'm annoyed with me only having one lnb on one fixed 80cm dish.

And due to one reason and another we are not moving for a while yet.

So as a temporary setup, I will be having a 90CM toroidal dish (£90) and a TM 9100 (£109)

I was reading up on the toroidal dish, and from what I gathered, you need thin ones if you are going to fit 16LNBs on one, it said these were thin enough, that you could get birds 3Deg apart.

I'm not sure though (although it would be nice to get 13,16&19E on one dish)

So anyway, can someone recommend a particular brand/type/model LNB that would fit, and is of decent quality (just remember, I'm buying SIXTEEN so no gold plated ones )

Danke Ffrindiau

hi gaz, that'd be one sweet setup once you're finished

on my 60cm toroidal I have 4 Edision LNBs. I DO NOT recommend them though, because of clearance at the back of the LNB interferes near the two frame arms that hold up the second reflector. I can take photos if you want. It may be because I bought spangly 4-output ones though, as when buying from the continent they turned out about the same price as buying single or double output Edisions in the UK.

By the way, the other thing was I found it wasn't the LNBs that stopped things getting any closer together it was the plastic LNB holders, which fold over and clamp the LNBs. Thus the clamp bit separates the LNB heads

There's a picture of an alps LNB on this thread.

...Or I could just say that it looks like a gentleman's wedding tackle...
