[QUOTE="esto, post: 1087528, member: 368402"] I ordered some [URL='https://www.inverto.tv/lnb/364/quad-universal-40mm-pll-lnb']Inverto Premium PLL[/URL] LNB's to replace my 3-4 year old Telestar ones. I'd like to point out that the Inverto's are not really black, but more of a dark blue color...good...now that I got the important technical observations/details out of the way, I'll move on to the performance... ;) The Telestars were pretty good when comparing to other LNB's I had a few years ago, so I wasn't expecting any signal improvement with the Invertos, I was expecting an improvement of HD signal quality from the better oscillation of the PLL. But after doing a before/after check of some channels, I found that I actually had a small signal gain on several channels, but no improvement on signal quality (?). My TV's built-in SAT tuner goes from 0 to 100% in steps of 10 for Signal Strength and Signal Qual. Several channels went from 70->80% in strength, but quality always stayed the same. Both HD and SD channels. So I guess I'm 10% happy about that, but a little disappointed/wondering about why there was no HD channel quality improvement....?
