yes it will
I have one on mine.
you may need to buy an adaptor to fit in to your dish though depending on what sky dish u have.
Vu Ultimo4K, OpenViX 5.0, 8xdvb-c, 8xdvb-s2, 2xdvb-t2
Vu Solo4K, OpenViX 5.0, 8xdvb-s2
Dreambox DM900, OpenViX 5.0, 2xdvb-s2, 2xdvb-c/t2
Terrestrial, Cable, Fixed 28.2e + Unicable2 LNB
Not ideal though because the feed horn is a different shape on minidish LNBs.
Not surprising really. The Unicable II LNB is a quality product. Also, what gets sent to the tuner is just the requested transponders so much less chance of interference.
But there is a physical mismatch between the shape of the dish and the shape of the feed.

Thanks for the replies really appreciate it. Also another question what satellite dish would be ideal for the unicable 2 lnb? (if i don’t use the sky mini dish)
Hi guys.
I'm also planning on getting a Unicable set up to use with my ultimo 4k fbc satellite tuner.
I would also like to know whether it would work with my current dish and what is this adapter thing people are talking about.
I'll post a photo of my dish and see what you guys think.
Also what's the difference between Unicable 1 lnb and Unicable 2 lnb?
Thanks
This is the type of adapter you require on a Sky/Freesat Mk4 dish - If you have a different Sky disk you need to establish what Mark number and get the appropriate adapterCode:https://www.amazon.co.uk/SKY-DISH-MK4-HOLDER-ADAPTER/dp/B00FX7QAPE
Although out of stock at Amazon
Mk1.Mk2, Mk3 40m adapter.Code:https://www.amazon.co.uk/kenable-Adapter-MK1-MK3-Dishes-Clamp/dp/B007JIRDGK
The Mk4 dish will have a spirit level just in front of the LNB whereas the earlier ones don't - photo ... (note1 satcure no longer trade)

I think that is a Mk 2/3 dish. But looks like you had an improvisation done on the holder. It is a Mk 4 LNB holder

I will try take some more close up pictures and hopefully with everyone expertise they can confirm which dish it is.
I don't know if this helps but my current values on my satellite tuner was around 100 percent snr and 71 percent acg
The values were the same with that dish I had previously so the new sky dish they installed has not affected my signal levels.
