[QUOTE="sydeccles, post: 838614, member: 279970"] First off: I am NOT an installer or any types of Satellite specialist, however after reading this thread I thought I would add my 2-penneth. I currently have 2 dishes in Spain (20 minutes south of Alicante) One dish being a Famaval 1.8 that I have been using for 5 years or so, the other is a Channel Master 1.8 offset. (this being my new toy) yes I know boys and their toys!!! [B][U]First off[/U][/B] I used an Invacom quad and a Channel master LNB with the correct plastic fittings to reduce the LNB mount to C120 size, this does not permit any focal length adjustment, only rotational / skew angle. [U][B]Second [/B][/U]I used an Inverto Black Ultra (with built in feed horn) this LNB does permit adjustment of focal length as well as Skew. I have a Horizon USB meter and obtainded the following readings ...I found that the Inverto gives more Signal strength but less quality. [/QUOTE]
