[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 90328, member: 177511"] consider this... If the dish and LNB are not matched you may not be getting the best from your set-up. With satellite using higher output signals (50-60 Watts) with high gain and low noise figures it is not as important as it used to be to match the LNB to the dish. If the LNB is see less of the dish that it could you will not be collecting all the signal from your dish, If it is more it may be collecting unwanted noise from any warm object like the sky or wall behind the dish. Most LNBs are now positioned 'offset' minimising the amount of signal obscured by the older 'prime focus' LNB mounts. The smaller the dish the more important the match is that is why the Sky mini dish comes complete with a matching LNB. You may not gain anything from replacing the LNB. I am using a £3.99 Lidl LNB on my dish and get everything I need and that's with the DreamBox's supposedly weak tuner. [/QUOTE]
