My Satellite Setup
2.4m dish with pace digibox, in Peyia, near Paphos
My Location
Cyprus
Hi
My Quad LNB now has 2 dead ports... expecting others to fail. It is about 5 years old.
I am thinking of replacing with new;

  • Have seen on here that the Invacom C120 is recommended - any other advice on exact model? There seems to be different shapes and colours
  • Should I replace the Feedhorn at same time?
  • Is the replacement straighforward, or do I need an installer to do it?
My dish is a 3.1m and reception is OK. I am in Peyia, Western Cyprus

Thanks

Thanks for the model number. Any answers to the other two parts from anyone?

Feedhorns don't normally need replacing and if it is matched to the dish, then there will generally be no advantage to so doing.
 
Skew setting (rotation of the LNb in it's holder) is of high importance when swapping out an LNb as is the focal adjustment.
 
The focal length will not need to be touched if the feedhorn remains in place.
