Is this possible? And if so... How many LNB's? 2?

Hi, a monoblock only has two LNBs. Monoblocks are optimised for 80cm dishes, so may not work too well on a zone 2 because of the spacing.

What may happen is that you would receive from sats at a larger separation than 6 degrees. It is a case of experimentation. A better option would be to use separate LNBs, as you would be able to adjust the positions more flexibly.

Is it possible to pick up 19E and 13E using Multi LNB's on a Zone 2 Dish. Those are the only 2 satellites I'm interested in at the moment. Is there a multi LNB holder for the Raven Zone 2 Dish? Or would I have to "bodge" my own.

You would probably have to bodge your own. It might work, try it.

This Vision multi lnb bracket fits the zone 2 minidish,by sitting on the lnb arm.
You do have to drill the hole through(where the fixing peg is),to the bottom side of the lnb arm,so that the bracket can be fixed using the bolt and nut provided.
A monoblock used with the Triax 40mm lnb adaptor works fine on a zone 2 minidish.
