Anyone tested one of these? Inverto Black Premium IDLB-TWNL40 Twin 0.2dB

[compufunk]

Just wondered if anyone had tested one of these.

There is one for sale in a local cable and accessories shop for €38 (about £33.5). It seems a little pricey, but I'd otherwise have to pay for postage which brings it close to online prices.

I'll be fitting it to my Penta 85.

There's a thread about the Inverto Black lower down the page, but I thought the Black was actually Black.

Yeah, the picture isn't right...

The Black Ultra is brilliant. Not tried the premium though. Cost 20 Euros here. And some are white.

Thanks Guys.

There's a thread about the Inverto Black lower down the page, but I thought the Black was actually Black.

I didnt pick that thread up in a search. I'll take a look now

I'm not sure what colour the the one I'm thinking of getting is. The guy I spoke to didnt seem to know much about it. He just told me that its an Inverto Twin, 0.2dB. When I googled that I came up with the one above.

Last week I've bin pretty busy making some Inverto Black Ultra lnb fitting to my 120 Fibo .
I've tested three , one who is modified to flange ,

one who fits directly into the Fibo feedhorn
and one original lnbf

The one who fits directly into the Fibo feedhorn performs the best .

Date : Friday 8 may 19.30 clear weather . My location 51.48 N 5.48 E
Testing on Nilesat again , last test was not o.k. did a little fine tuning ( bit less elevation)
Now on the right transponders (thanks Satan) gave the following results on Maxplus 2100S
A local sat dealer told me that TP 11.844 H is the most difficult to receive here In Nijmegen so I stick to report that one TP.

First the data with the Invacom SNF 031 0.3dB signal 91% -quality 66
Also tested with flange modded GT-QD 40D signal 97% -quality 66
With the direct 2 fibo horn modded Black Ultra signal 96% -quality 67
With the Ultra Black LNBF on home made holder signal 97% -quality 66
With the flange modded Inverto Black Ultra signal 96% -quality 66

On the Maxplus 2100 , the quality is most important , 62 % gives still a green status-bar , but no picture .

I got my hands on the Inverto Black Premium today. As stated, its not actually black in colour. I've fitted it, but I haven't gotten around to testing it against the old LNB yet,

Wod, that is a Black Ultra. This thread is about the Black Premium, which also come in white.

I replaced my two twin ALPS lnbs (BSTE5-101A) with two IDLB-TWNL40-PREMU-OPP but it didn't work, "no signal" at the receivers. I have double checked everything, no change. Finally I put the ALPS back in place and it worked! When I connect the Inverto lnbs directly to a receiver I get a signal. Therefore I replaced my old FTE diseqc switch with an expensive SPAUN SAR 422, but again no signal!? Is there something special with these Inverto IDLB-TWNL40-PREMU-OPP lnbs or are they not compatible to standard diseqc switches?

I would appreciate any help, thanks!
