What satellite are you on and why

[cokeaddict]

Oh apologies sorry wasn't clear.
Some second hand dishes doesn't come with the collar for example

Triax TD64 64cm Satellite Dish With LNBs and Stand | eBay

So if I find a big dish like this then I will need the lnb with the collar.
If it comes with its own then it's fine. Depends on what I find.

Yes my other satellite dish which I haven't uploaded is a dish with the unicable lnb.
I have a photo somewhere I'll upload it

OK so the bigger dish is unicable set up.

The sky dish is now basically doing nothing so plan to replace it with a motorised one so was asking if existing lnb plus adapter would work on the motorised dish assuming the one I get didn't come with either.


Hope that makes sense

Ok well that dish (as you have used it as an example) is A) pointless for using as a motorised dish and B) the adaptor with the technomate lnb won't fit it anyway.

Don't buy a dish that doesn't come with the lnb holder

Oh right
I thought any dish can be motorised.
Why would you not be able to put the lnb or an adapter on a dish that doesn't have one?

Any dish can be, but that example was 64cm dish so it's smaller than the larger dish you are already using.

A sky lnb holder will not fit an other dishes and some dishes use a custom lnb holder that might not be available anymore, hence better to not buy a dish that doesn't come with it.

Yes thst was an example only but for arguments sake I've seen some 100cm triax dishes that come with lnb and some without.
The specs say it requires a 40mm collar.
So I'm assuming in those cases that collar with a standard universal LNB would attach onto a dish without any problems?

Only if the collar is included with the dish or if you buy a triax lnb holder.

The one supplied with that technomate lnb won't fit as it's for a sky dish and will need to be removed.

OK so if it's a 40mm collar then universal LNB 40mm would size would fit perfectly fine right?

Correct

I didn't think there were any universal lnbs that were not standard 40mm tho

Think your getting a little confused
When it says requires a 40mm collar it means the width of the Lnb
Unless your looking at a second hand dishes and they are missing the Lnb holder I wouldn't, go near them .

Example dish

That dish will require a Lnb with a 40mm collar

Oh right I get you now.
OK at least I know that now.

Although tbf if I remember correctly I did replace my triax 78cm dish with the sky 40mm adapter to accommodate my maclean unicable lnb and it fitted fine.
