[QUOTE="Samuel E iq, post: 878954, member: 402123"] Hi guys, Up until BBC, Channel 4, ITV switched over to the Astra 2e i was comfortably using a 90cm Triax Dish with a unbranded Quad LNB and standard sky boxes. Once they switched over to Astra 2e we were right on the limit of being able to receive signal and it would work well except for in rain, I have since learned the signal can fluctuate and subsequently have recently lost all channels expect for NI BBC and a regional ITV. I thought if i would upgrade my LNB to something designed for fringe reception i would be able to get that little extra signal strength i needed, i quickly searched for good LNB's and saw 'Black Ultra Inverto Quattro HGLN 40mm LNB' and purchased it. Tried to install it today and showed on one of my sky boxes Full Signal and Full quality any the system signal test but the channels were still not working and on the other 2 boxes no signal, no strength. The 4 outputs appear to be different, V/L ... V/H ... H/H ... H/L, i don't know what this means but i gather it's not 4 of the same outputs. So what I'm asking is, Is this LNB compatible and if not what would be the best option for me when a bigger dish is not really an option right now as it has to go on my chimney to avoid trees. Please excuse any ignorance in this post and i would appreciate any help you can provide. [/QUOTE]
