Unfortunately a LNB will only help slightly, with weak signals, only a larger, good quality, dish will really help to bring in weaker satellite signals, if they are receivable at all.
Which channels are you trying to get, on your dish?
Trying to work out the maps, for your location, you might be able to get 1M, the Europe wide beam, but I'm not too sure of the other satellite beams.
Have you checked out IPTV receivers?

Unless you have an enormous dish the west European beam channels on 19E are not receivable in your area.

You need to think about getting them via an alternative source

My Satellite Setup
OpenBox X5 on a 1 meter motorized dish.
And now a 10 foot "C" band dish.

You can go to the following site
Code:
http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=37775
it has an active footprint map for Astra 1n, you can also select the others, you can zoom int your location, then click on it, if you are in one of the beams it will give you an estimated dish size needed for your location to get a good signal on that satellite.

If you are outside the coverage area for that satellite (it's receivable footprint) you may be out of luck, and as stated a newer lower noise floor LNB will not get the satellite if you need a 4 meter dish or larger to do so.

Did you go to the web site I posted and check to see if you can see that satellite at your location?

And what size dish it recommends?

As for the Inverto Black Pro LNB, if you can't see the satellite at your location with your current dish and LNB then changing to a different LNB may not help you very much.

You may be outside the coverage area for that satellite.. or your current dish may be too small to properly receive the satellite at your location..So check with the web site I posted before you go out and buy something that may or may not work.

Not if your dish isn't big enough. Changing LNBs has the potential for minor improvements (If implemented correctly), but is no substitute for increasing dish size.

Have you considered something like an IPTV receiver, to get the channels, as I mentioned earlier?

well if your outside the footprint for that satellite then you may need a 5 meter or larger dish (there may be some side scatter to pick up) but you may be out of luck for that satellite.

Try looking into the IPTV receiver like Mickha mentioned.

IPTV receivers do not use a dish, to get a satellite signal, they use an internet connection.

For the west Europe beam 19E channels you might start to stand a chance with something over 5m!

With just a 1.8m dish - forget it - no chance with any lnb.

So lets start exploring other options.

Which channels are you most wanting? Many of the German fta channels have web streams

But afriend living in egypt, which is also out of foot print, has told me that he uses inverto
black pro on 1.8m dish and has succeeded in receiving the west Europe beam 19E channels.
and other friend has modified an lnb and aded special feed horn .
