[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1042560"] Ah - posts crossed. That is a normal universal LNB. Throw it away, and buy new one - it's bound to be better. LNBs for 15 EUR is likely to outperform that one. ...But. The question then is: Is the dish a Prime Focus, or an offset one? (Is the LNB held slightly in front of the lower half of the dish face, or is it smack in the middle of the dish?) Offset dish: [ATTACH]115158[/ATTACH] Prime focus (and notably with a normal "universal" LNB attached - the LNB does not match this type of dish) [ATTACH]115159[/ATTACH] If it's a prime focus one, you need to get a different type of LNB which has a feed-horn that matches the dish... This will guve much better reception. Mind you, 19.2 is one of the strongest sats in the sky, and you can probably receive that on a 40cm dish, no need for 140 cm dishes... [/QUOTE]
