Sharp Quad LNB

[Tony1A]

First off, I have to say I don't know much about these particular LNB's. I have seen the new quad output on Ebay and for £8.99 I don't think that is bad at all and I may get one to try just out of curiosity. Comes with a 40mm collar so that will fit a standard type dish. Any opinions on these LNB's peeps?

Looks okay from the spec.

I have just read some reviews from Germany which are very encouraging. I think it could be quite a bargain! Around £12 and delivered? Sounds good to me, I have ordered one.

At that price you cant lose. Even if its not great for fringe stuff its cheap enough to drop into your spares box for future use.

I wouldn't use it on weak satellites anyway. For Freesat/Sky I reckon it would do OK and I am going to be making some changes to my dish setup soon so I'll probably use it then.

For Freesat reception I'm sure it will be fine. I do fight shy of LNB's that are advertised as 'HD ready' and '3D ready', mainly because that has very little (if anything) to do with the LNB. I can see it as an advertising gimmick to appeal to the uninitiated though.

The HD/3D ready LNB! In my opinion any universal LNB will do the job even those old Cambridge types. The word gimmick comes to mind

I'm bracing myself for the first "Ultra HD Ready" and "4K Ready" LNBs!

I don't think it will happen.
