    Will this Quad LNB fit my Maplin Satellite Suitcase 37cm dish which I currently have a dual lnb on? Or is it just for Sky dishes?

    Thanks.

    No that one fits a new type sky minidish. You need a standard 40mm collar lnb and I'm not sure it will work too well with that size of dish.

    Thanks Tony. I got it in a local shop in Dungarvan where I am at the moment and they said it would do "any dish" but it seemed different all right. No point in bringing it back to Dublin so.

    Is this one on your site the correct type -

    Thanks.


    (If a dual lnb is currently working what is your main concern about a quad - extra weight? The only reason I'm using such a small dish is because nothing larger will fit where I want it)

    Yes that one will fit no problem. The main concern I would have on dish size is the gain loss using a quad , its a light lnb so the weight should be ok. Guess you have no choice on the dish size and at least you are on the south east coast.

    Ah ok probably slightly better again given the astra 2d footprint.
