Hi, I'd like to receive Astra2 and Hotbird channels with a single dish. Is it possible to buy a LNB support to do it ? Where?

Thank you so much

What you will require to achieve Astra 2 and Hotbird channels => https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/satellite-and-terrestrial/Satellite-dish-accessories-brackets-and-holders/Technomate-Triax-Multi-4-Way-LNB-Holder-bracket

at the moment Availability: Out Of Stock ...
but you could try message forum Sponsor World of Sat => https://www.sat-universe.com/member.php?u=503686

There is a more than decent chance that he will be able to help and ensure you do not experience any long delay ,
i have dealt with forum Sponsor World of Sat and found response to be very fast and a very efficient business that he is running .
Good luck : )

as i do not see area and dish size... i am not sure that it is absolutely easy...

also, about the bracket, i am sure, that this bracket does not match to all dishes...

and... except the lnb, you will need also a diseqc switch...

That bracket will work but you should go little bigger dish Triax 88cm would be ideal you may well suffer some signal loss on Astra 2 due to quite a few channels being on the tight UK spot beams but you can get Astra 2 and Hotbird but you will require a diseqc switch and 2 LNB's may be even three if you wanna try for 19.2E Also .
it will take a little work and likely end up much more expensive than going with a dish plus disecq motor which would be the much more wise option and less expensive give you much more sats and channels for your money .

having a look in fly sat beams... except the "2G" beam which is in a very high level, the others need about 70-80 cm "clear" dish (i mean straight center 28.2). anyway you can "forget" the uk beams.

now... for receiving both satellites, i suggest about 1m dish, and center about 19.2 -21,5 (to have a clear receive about 80cm in both satellites).
