[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 708235, member: 310216"] .......having postponed my upgrade to a Gibi 1.5M till next year, I felt a desire to do something this year. My main interest lies in fringe reception, being in the fortunate position of receiving both V & H transponders from Nilesat (even during daytime in fine weather) on a 1M dish. So, the plan is this; I'm going to buy a Laminas 1200 and mount it on my Technomate motor (this is probably the daft part). I reason that it will be sited in a very sheltered spot which will keep the strain on the dish/motor to a minimum. I'm under no illusion that it could wreck the motor, it's a risk I'd like to take, being a person that needs to try things that others advise me not to do (like moving to France). What I would like advice on is the LNB. For sure I'll be using my Black Ultra, however I can purchase a Laminas feedhorn for the dish which I was thinking of matching up with an Invacom C120. Is it best to match the feedhorn to the dish or would I be better off trying an Invacom feedhorn? I'd also like to try an Inverto Black Pro 120 but although it's illustrated on their website I can't locate a dealer with any stock. Thoughts or suggestions appreciated but lets try and keep the thread to sub saga length :-rofl2:-rofl2 [/QUOTE]
