I have just ordered this quad lnb from Amazon and seems to be made by SkyWare:

Quad LNB

Can somebody advise if it is correct for the small oval sky mini dish with the square section arm?

It will be used with a Humax Foxsat HDR PVR

LNBs for Sky dishes should be oval shaped to match the dish, as the signal reflects back from the disk into the LNB.

However a round one will probably work OK under normal circumstances but in poor weather conditions you are more likely to lose the signal.

As for the fitting, I've only actually fitted a Sky one once and that was a while back, but that one you've ordered looks like the type you need.

The shape of the white bit at the front's not really relevant it's the shape of the feed horn behind it that matters. The fittings definetely for a sky dish the others use a clamp arrangement rather than the simple securing peg.
