My System: 1.2 m Eurostar dish KU band W3A, 3.1 M mesh C band on the arc from Atlantic bird3 to Measat 3, 1.5 m offset on PAS 10 KU, 70cm Offset on Eutelsat W2, 2.4m prime (Dual LNB) on PAS 7/10 @ 68 Deg E and Thaicom @ 78 Deg E STARTRACK NC707 Plus, Skyst |
It is well known and I have experienced it, not all receivers behave the same with respect to low signal level. For example we tested the metabox 3 tuner to be poor yes poorer that the metabox 1. I am in fringe area and 1 dB can make a big difference, can someone tell what is the best FTA tuners.Has any test been conducted to know at what Eb/No or C/N these tuners locked or unlocked.I do not rely on advertisement that always tells that their product has the best sensitive tuner. I need help from you who have had the chance to test your receivers with regard to signal conditions. | ||

My System: 2.4mtr Channel Master Dish, Fracarro Penta 85cm Dish, 64cm Traix Dish with 4 multi LNB'S Sky HD, Dreambox 800, Dreambox 500, IPBOX 250, Sky HD and a mad wife ! | Hi m8, Over the years I have owned many receivers and for me nothing works better on weak signals then the Technomate range. I still have my old DACI 5500 for sat hunting and tuning in the dish. I used to own a Technomate CIP 5500 and this again was just like the DACI 5500. The newer range of Technomates have a even more sensitive tuner in them. Hope this helps. Keano | ||
