[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 386800, member: 175057"] The figures quoted for LNBs are for noise produced during amplification and conversion if the signal, in theory, the lower this figure the better, but be aware that these figures are not necessarily always given for the same measurement, so can be almost meaningless. The benefit of a motorised dish, is that you will be able to move the dish to see many different satellites, and hence, see many more channels. For information on what a patch and or CAM can do, see the CAMs and Decoders section. Also do not take as read that Ebay sellers know what they are selling or talking about, they can make some pretty extravagant claoms on occasions, I would always go for a receiver with a slot for a CAM and a card reader, whether the reciver is patchable or not, as then you always have the option of subscribing to packages should you wish.
