My System: dreambox |
Can some experts please guide me into what is the best lnb for the Andrews channel master offset dish ? This dish has three arms that come to a point which hold bracket to house the lnb. The dish came with a feedhorn but I am not sure what type of lnb is suitable and provides excellent signal. I am sure there are experts that have experience of this set up.. | ||

My System: Dreambox 7020, CM 1.2 with invacom quad c120 & channelmaster feedhorn. | Why not use an Invacom C120 0.3db quad with your feed horn? Or the inverto white tech which isnt as good but still okay and much cheaper! | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | I stuck an Inverto white tech on mine, I've yet to play with, I erm, mean test the dish & feedhorn but I think it'd be fine...

My System: TM-1500Ci+ Super - 1.5m Centre feed - 0.3dB Lnb | Inverto works well on my 1.5m, I reckon it lives upto its 0.3dB claim. Being on the sickie and skint I got mine off an auction site, a seller offers them buy it now and also best offer. Mine cost just £15.00 delivered on a offer price... | ||

My System: Dreambox 7020, CM 1.2 with invacom quad c120 & channelmaster feedhorn. | I have tested invacom quad and inverto on my dish, and found the invacom could pull in a few off the Nilesat channels whereas the inverto had no mission. Suppose you get what you pay for.... | ||

My System: Dreambox 7020, CM 1.2 with invacom quad c120 & channelmaster feedhorn. | Basiclly what i have found on the Nilesat Verticals is that the Invacom Quad can get a lock on them (about 30% quailty) but only from 2100-0600 hours. Probally because I am on the edge off the fringe! During the rest off the day, no quailty at all. And the Inverto does not lock on at all. Even tryed it on a 2 meter primefocus I had for a while and still couldn't pull in Nilesat. | ||
