Has any one tried the new syntec 0.2 LNB dose it really improve signal quaility
on all channels with a 1M dish.
I would like to read you views on this.

I don't think that it is any better than the Invacom or MTI Blue, both of these are a cheaper option. It also depends on what you are hoping to achieve and what you are replacing, if you are looking for spectacular performance improvements and receipt of previosly impossible channels, you may be disappointed.

Thanks rolfw I can get Nilesat CH33 with a 1m at signal quaility of 20/30% I know you need 1.2m dish to be clear. I have a LNB called digital+.
Would low noise LNB help me?

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Anything with the legend <0.5 , check exactly what it means from the manufacturers site

It is at present impossible to get a through path of signal at Ku band with under 0.5 dB of thermal noise

To make things clear I have got a 0.6dB would a 0.3dB be ok for Nilesat on 1m diish?

If you can receive Nilesat now but with a lot of breaking up, then you may reduce the breaking up, but unlikely to stop it altogether.

I think what CH is saying is that the noise figure may not be what it appears.
