[QUOTE="briangw, post: 894620, member: 290989"] The gilbertini fh/c120 combo (all from ebay) put about 5-10% extra on my quality readings, and as its shared between 19 apartments, it was worth every penny. I have tried a Raven/CM feedhorn, which is about twice the price but was less successful for me, so its going back on ebay. There is a limited selection of C120 LNBs, and the Invacom is the best available. If you look at Huevos's reception reports here (change the final number to go back in days) :- [U][url]http://satellites-xml.org/signal-graphs/days-ago-graph.php?daysAgo=0[/url][/U] you will see the variation that occurs during the day. It makes you realise that when swopping around or testing, if you choose the wrong part of the day (ie when its on the up or downward trend), you will get very misleading results. I think on the fringe, its always been the case you receive either Hs or Vs slightly stronger depending on where you are - I get the Hs stronger. Of course its imperative to spend countless number of hours trying to make sure that your alignment/focus/skew are as close to perfection as possible(!), and as I said earlier, the Humax receivers will make the most of what you can pick up.
