[QUOTE="Corrigapp, post: 15253, member: 390950"] There are some differences between LNBs, but it's not as simple as choosing as low a noise figure (eg 0.4 dB etc) as possible and spending more money. The LNB also has to work well with the dish and the cable, which is probably what gives some people in these parts access to 2D with a small dish. Its skew (rotation within the holder at the end of the boom) is also a sensitive adjustment. So you could buy a Syntech 2000, for example, and be disappointed with it (see the Astra 2D/ITV thread). As regards your second paragraph, see also the above thread. Third paragraph, see this link; [url]http://www.hansa-electronic.com/.[/url] I'm afraid I don't know anything about how large a dish you can safely install on a chimney but I would guess at 1 m max. I certainly wouldn't have installed my Gibertini on the chimney and besides when it's at ground level, tweaking it becomes a whole lot easier! Lastly, I agree with Old Satellite's comments but I would like to add that over 1.5 m, the price of dishes skyrockets. Peter [/QUOTE]
