[QUOTE="Hitchcock, post: 137493, member: 196478"] But those manufacters who decide not to include a feedhorn, surely it must be because their dishes are already designed to a universal standard which the LNBFs must also conform to. Are you saying that there are manufacturers out there are who produce non-standard dishes and who are not bothered to manufacture matching feedhorns to go with them? I have a 1.80 m Channel Master dish that came with its own feedhorn. This leads me to conclude that their dish is slightly different. In fact, I was going to replace it once with one I saw from Swedish Microwave, thinking it might improve things a little bit, but when I asked SMW about it, they advised me not to, told me to stick with the original feed that came with the dish, since "the feedhorn should always be considered part of the antenna design", as they put it. With regard to Channel Master, I'm not sure that you're correct in saying that they don't supply feedhorns. Like I said, mine was included! :) (I also remember seeing them being sold in the shops separately, although I admit this was all some time ago!) [/QUOTE]
