HI ALL!

I have decided to avoid the Smart Blue Cap Quad LNB's from now on. I have three boxes connected to a 60cm dish with said LNB on it and all boxes are showing the same fault....missing channels. I checked my main system in the living room and all channels are there on my TD78 with GT SAT quad LNB. Last October I had to change the Smart Blue Cap to the same one and now this has failed!!!

That is the second one I have had go down in a year......not impressed at all! So, it looks like I have a job to do when I get a nice day again. Smart Blue Cap quad you suck!! :mad::mad::mad:

They're generally well thought of, but there can I guess be bad batches.

When they work I have to say it's a good LNB. Very high output. But this one has only lasted a year and it's put me off buying another one. I've got a Maclean MCTV 629 LNB on the dish now. It's not bad and I suppose for what I paid (£8.99 delivered) I can't complain but not quite as high output as the Smart Blue Cap.
