    Butchyboy sent it to me , Under £15 use google search , No its not C120 .
    but you can use a C120 LNB its just signal is very hard to focus on an offset 1.2m dish .
    i find the GM LNB very good gain is so much better it performs really well locking a lot of low signal feeds
    where the IBU LNB and so many others would drop signal via rain and weather the GM LNB keeps a good lock
    it is very impressive on 42E S Sport and really good for any occasional 28E Feeds ,
    give a good solid signal on 1W where every other LNB that i tested would fail so badly , its really cheap and does a much better job than other much more expensive LNB's .

    Ok after searching for that LNB I can see its a 40mm collar. So given you say we can get away with it not being C120, how did you overcome the collar size ? My dish will only cater for a 20mm collar feedhorn.

    PLL should out perform Dro, its just hard finding a quality PLL. Looks like this Golden media 202 might be it. Ive just bought the single output. lets see how it goes

    Yes I consdered longer screws but I came to the conclusion that because the LNB wont sit properly in the bottom part of the holder simply because its to large, then the focal point would be raised by at least 20mm, probably more. Surely this results in signal loss ?

    Mines different to that too, mines metal.

    I had to buy a new one, for my CM 120 dish, 8 months ago, when I noticed that my original holder was cracked, and found one on Ebay:

    This is my dish and mount that someones selling.

    Code:
    https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/echostar-1-2m-dish-polar-head-ground-stand.161671/
    I'm not a member of that site though so i cannot download the image which shows the LNB holder. If someone is a member perhaps they can grab it, but even from the picture shown you can see that its unlikely a 40mm collar LNB is going to ever fit.

    @Ian if that holder is original Cm or copy it will be 40 mm core , you would then need the spacers to fit the cm feedhorn 20mm , does yours use the spacers ? if not they say its the same as the cm so the one listed above will fit youre dish and 40 mm collar lnb.

    Hope i made a bit of sense
    there

    Yes I think that dish is smaller than mine and mine doesnt have the red Echostar writing, although I do believe it is an Echostar. But if you download the pic then make it bigger you can clearly see the metal holder, which is identical to mine and that I dont think its possible to fit a 40mm collar LNB into it. Such as shame because £15 for a good quality LNB is very good value, especially as so many are saying it gives great results.
