Remember me - in Alexandria - picking up some of the Sky's stronger signals on a little (relatively) 1.8m dish.
Didn't manage to mess around (or mess up!) too much this weekend - but have managed to wangle for a few days - (just to to try it out) a 2.4m dish - one piece - Egyptian moulded dish.
Now the question is - what lnb. I've been told over and over again that I need an invacom 0.3dB, but I'll need to import these - apparently they're not easy to come by here - importation = time
What is on offer locally are three different lnb types:-
a) Astra 0.5dB - according to the sat man there's another SKY system operating in Alex with this lnb (2.4m dish) - but no Astra 2D
Super Force 0.4dB - I can't find anything on the wwwwwebbb about this
c) Nokia Laser 0.2dB - I can find some limited info on Nokia lnbs at there web page - but nothing with such a low dB ref
Obviously I'll try this Astra lnb (since it has allegedly worked in Alex), but I'm curious if:-
a) anyone has heard of / has info on the other two? or
will a lower dB rating equate to a better signal? - What's the down side of a low lnb rating?
Sorry about all the a's and b's - must try and do better next time.
Cheers
Richard
PS - its getting quite hot here.
