Hi All. I want to purchase a quad LNB to run with my freesat foxsat set and have found that there is a wide ranging difference in Quad LNB prices, I've seen prices from £6 to £50, why is there such a difference and is there a significant difference in quality on the more expensive LNB,s and what if any would members recommend. thanks | ||

My System: Skymaster DCI9900 + PC/twinhan combination. 80cm dish. GBPVR with 2 DTTV cards +hauppauge Media MVP | Probably depends a bit on whether you are using a S_y minidish or not. because they are so common there is high demand and they are produced down to a price. Nothing wrong with that if it performs where you live. The more expensive ones often are optimised for the taller offset dishes (as opposed to the S_y wider shape) and probably are of better quality but unless you are hunting weak signals or have a motorised dish then you probably will see no benefit for the extra beer tokens | ||

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | If you are using a Sky Toydish, then spending more than five or sick squid from Fleabay is all you need. | ||
