[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 615790, member: 175057"] Don't think Sky carries any relevance on this, they certainly wouldn't use it for standard residential installations and are only interested in what is delivered to the subscriber outlet in IRS systems, most of which will be coax fed on the final leg. Obviously longer term the way to go will be for total fibre infrastructure in IRS systems, but that's another story. For the purposes of this thread, we are interested in The quality and performance of the LNB and ancillary kit, plus the price compared to a more traditional coax fed system. I've calculated that ignoring the need for a larger dish size on a 50m run of WF125 five core cable, the fibre option works out slightly more expensive, but raise this to above 50m and the fibre system comes out cheaper, take off the difference in price due to the ability to use a smaller dish and the fibre system wins hands down.
