[QUOTE="LarsV, post: 403149, member: 259635"] No, the holes are evenly spaced around a normal circle, but this circle is smaller than the circle on the lnb - and there are only 6 holes on the feed. The SMW adapter might do the trick, but what troubles me is that they also have a socalled "Prodelin adapter". Normal I would think that this is what I need, but that thing converts to a square connector with 4 holes - and that doesn't fit the C120 either. Maybe a "Prodelin Adapter" and a "C120 adapter" in connection is the thing? To the other poster, asking me if this was a setup with a 39, 50 or 51 degree feed horn. I do not know this yet, but I will go later today to the dish and measure the arm holding the feed. I will let you know my findings. It seems that there's a consensuns that it's better to to use the original feed horn than a universal feed horn (even though the cap on the original feedhorn shows some wear). Is this correct? Also, I would like to have some feedback from anyone who knows about the SMW Quattro LNB. Is the noise figure really 0.9 ? It seems to be so much more than the average 0.3 on Invacom - in fact, I just noticed an LNB with a noise figure as low as 0.1 (!). I don't understand this, as it seems that the product line of SMW seems to be aimed at professionals - why do these products have worse specs than the average consumer product? Regards [/QUOTE]
