H there, alas, my Lidl dish I've been using at my caravan fro yhe last 6 years, bought it with the gales lastMon/Tues, the plastic mount between the dish and the the mounting bracket failed, in fact the angle scale on the side of the dish was first set at 25 degrees but when it failed it was at 35 degrees, by hand I couldn't move it so there must have been some force, anyway, I have a s*y dish lying in my back garden (needs WQD40) but the lnb that came with it weighs a ton anyonesugest a replacement for it, it will feed two boxe's. I wish lidl's had a run on sat gear just now as i could use the icecrypt LNB i was using at the time, it was Lidl's gear that started me off in the sat scene the bfirst I used to look at forgein sats, actually only a couple of times but very interesting, could be a trip to Maplins.
Thanks in advance

Apologise for the garbled first thread, a bit merry at the time.
Cheers
Why not just get a new Sky minidish and lnb from ebay.
Less than £20.00 delivered.

Good Idea but where i am if you need to watch TV normaly the weather's not too good so 60cm minimum but will check the link
No problem use a Zone 2

I use a Zone 2 Raven in the Midlands for Freesat. Works a treat.
Out of interest I put up a Mk4 Zone 1 on my neighbours bungalow. Works fine (at least on 1N channels, which is all they tend to watch) and we have had some pretty heavy rain recently
Thanks again
Hi there. so I plumpt for this one but forgot to notice if it would fit on to a poll mount as that is what I have, I expect it will though.
You may have to buy some suitable U bolts.
As I recall, the Zone 2 dishes only had two different sizes of nuts
Small nuts are used
- 4 with phillips-screw headed bolts to fix dish to back-bracket
- 4 go on the U-Bolts for the pole mount
Big nuts and bolts connect the elevation bracket to the back-bracket of the dish
It's while ago but from memory you can't really get it wrong. Have a squint at other Sky dishes. Or Google it.

Makes one hell of a noise when it does so too...
