[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1066534, member: 369937"] If that's your dish in that photo then good luck trying to filter out a signal that has it's source that close to the LNB. And most commercial grade in-line LNB wave guide filters like in the links you posted, will not work on most consumer grade LNB's, they will not bolt onto the primary wave guide, you would need a commercial grade LNB for that. And a filter in-line with the LNB output (it's IF output) will not work, as the signals need to be filtered out before they get to the internal mixer inside the LNB. To get the job done right you would need a commercial grade setup, (C-band LNBF with a wave-guide and detachable down converter) this would be very expensive. However if you own the property you could put up a Faraday shield, this consists of some 2x2's for a frame, with some aluminum window screen on both sides. You would build the frame as close to the dish as possible, then the window screen is attached to both sides, the two screens are kept isolated from each other except for one ground point, this ground point is then connected to an 8 foot Earth ground rod, this ground must be seperated from the dish's ground point. The frame needs to be big enough to totally shield the dish from the interfering signal source. [/QUOTE]
