[QUOTE="BLUEPLATINUM, post: 95031, member: 176530"] I have just updated by LNB from a 0.5db Teléves single output one to an INVACOM 3.0db one with 4 independent outputs. The original LNB was installed by the guy who put up the dish and was only ever meant to be temporary. The receiver is a PACE MK 1 SKY+ box and the dish is 2.4m Channel Master. I have no special equipment, so to install the INVACOM I just removed the old LNB and placed the new one in the holder. I then rotated it until signal stength and quality peaked on the default transponder. It was early evening, when the BBC starts to pixelate before disapearing, so I then tuned into BBC1 and tweaked the rotation to minimise the pixelation. I am very dissapointed because the new LNB does not seem to perform any better than the old one. I was expecting the the channels which "are there" but which pixelate or cause "there is a technical fault with this chennel" to come in. Have I done something wrong other than not replace the receiver? I wondered in the LNB needs to be earthed? It has an earthing point and the signal was much better when I was holding the LNB to adjust it before taking my hand off it! Any advice gratefully received. Thanks. You can see pictures of the setup before the new LNB fitting [URL=http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showpost.php?p=185169&postcount=131]here[/URL] [/QUOTE]
