I did a comparison of four LNBs on my new TD88 in Helsinki looking at 28.2E. I don't have a satellite meter so I'm just going by what the receiver shows.
The LNBs I tested where a new Inverto Black Ultra Single, a two year old Inverto Black Ultra twin, a new Inverto Black Ultra Quad, and a new Opticum LQP-04H Quad (as recommended by members on the Spanish threads - thanks).
Below is a table with the results from the transponders I can receive as shown by the quality reading in dB on my DrHD F15. I can't receive any UK spots or the top end 2F European beam but from the transponders I can receive it seems like the Inverto Black Ultra Single is the winner with the Opticum LQP-04H coming closely in second place. The Black Ultra Twin seemed to be worst on most frequencies but not sure if that was due to it's age. I'm quite pleased with the Opticum LQP-04H and I'll be using that for Sky since I need three outputs and it beat the Black Ultra Quad almost every time. For other satellites I'll stick to using the Black Ultra Single LNBs as I only need one output for each of them.
Green = best result
Yellow = second
Red = third
Grey = worst result
