Best LnB Costa Del Sol

[pizzaboy9990]

hope ive posted in the right section..

what would be the best lnb for me to buy for the costa del sol area...

at the moment my setup is......

1.2m dish
using a single lnb...
freesat HD

i just need a good quality twin lnb to use...one that will provide and hold a good signal....

thanks

What type of dish is it? Prime focus or Offset, and the make?

I work around the Costa Del Sol and use Televes and Invacom, work perfectly here, as they seem to me to be the most sensitive and trustworthy around here. A little more expensive but I find you get what you pay for.

If its prime focus certainly give this one a miss, its more like a 0.7db INVERTO RED CLASSIC C120 0.3dB
Cheaper than the Invacom I replaced but not in the same league.

all i can tell you is ..its a fixed dish 1.2m.....and its concave....does that help..

 

[pizzaboy9990]

ok..i think fromlooking at images on the net..

it is offset

 

[Lazarus]

Ah, concave ............. yes, that does help.

[pizzaboy9990]

Ah, concave ............. yes, that does help.

Go for the Inverto Black Ultra twin LNB, at least three of our forum supporting advertisers sell them and I'm sure they will ship to Spain.

CDTronix, Southern satellite and Sateuropa.

1.2M dish here in Spain - are you expecting this lnb to work wonders ?
Better spending you brass on a 1.9M

Remember to twist the LNB to get the most signal, usually better if you do this with a meter, but give it a go yourself and see how it goes. :-righton 28degrees is what you want if the degrees are noted on the upside of the LNB.

 

[pizzaboy9990]

Yes, that's the one.

thanks for this ordered....cheers

i have just tried this trick with my old single lnb...and guess what i can now view all the channel 4 sub channels..example E4 etc....before after a certain time they all become unobtainable...excellent..cheers..
