[QUOTE="dovercat, post: 650676, member: 274033"] Quite right that footprint map was not for MBC, I have edited my previous post. Despite in theory not being within the footprint I easily get the MBC channels with a 1mtr dish in Oxfordshire. At 26E I generally watch only the MBC channels and Dubai One as they show lots of English language programs with Arabic subtiles. I think there used to be a standard for measuring Lnb Noise figures, at least I think manufactures all did it the same. If the manufactures have started making their own different measuring criteria then the specs are only relevent when comparing lnbs by the same manufacturer, unless they makeup the measuring criteria on a per lnb bases. I can not stand misleading sales tactics, dish mounts rated for dish sizes only in fair weather, 1.1mtr dishes that are actually 1mtr dishes, 0.1dB Lnbs that are actually 0.6-0.7dB, what has happened to the world, manufacturers used to want to have a trustworthy reliable image. Beamwidth quite right again, I have misunderstood and have edited my original post. [/QUOTE]
