[QUOTE="pm1961, post: 37160, member: 177263"] Hi Guys, Is there an easy way of telling a dead LNB? (Measure its resistance perhaps?) I ask because I inherited a bag of sat bits and pieces from an ex installer and have been putting a system together. I got up and running ok but having got the bug, I thought I'd get my first new bit of kit. Not being able to get better than about 65-70% signal strength on Hotbird, I thought a decent branded LNB would be the place to start upgrading.. I splashed out on an Invacom 0.3dB LNB......... But I get no signal from it!!!!'O'-red Just to confirm I wasn't being a clutz, I put my freebie no-name LNB back in, and yep, got my signal back. Do these things occasionally come DOA? For info, the rest of the kit; 90cm Aluminium Prime Focus Dish. Variety of no name LNB's Az/El mount fixed onto Hotbird at the moment. Pinnacle CI PCI Sat card and ProgDVB software with Softcam keys. Thanks for looking, PM:D [/QUOTE]
