Hi Guys & Girls,

I have just purchased the 180cm Fortecstar & C120 LNB & Feedhorn from maplin, but for some reason I can't get the lnb secure in the bracket they sent, is it a case that I'm not doing it right or is it the wrong bracket?
As you might be able to work out from the picture the neck of the feedhorn is too small for the bracket & the end that attaches to the lnb is to big. :-doh2




Any help will be received greatfully

Cheers for that rolfw,

They are expensive with their shipping.

But it's easier then sending things back & forwards with Maplin.

Cheers

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

I was just looking at HISAT's Gibi offset C120 feedhorn and was wondering if I'd benefit from fitting one to my 60CM dish with an Inverto single LNB? Or is that like polishing a t*rd? :D
