[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 62066, member: 176379"] Are you talking about the difficulty fitting a XF-45 to a Sky minidish? Hehehe..pretty funny as the SMW XF-45 cost nearly as much as the Sky Minidish and Sky LNB together. After checking the cross polarization number for the XF-45 it says 20dB, the SMW OMT says 31.5dB and the MT AP8-TW says 25dB. So clearly the OMT seems like the best one in this case but it will be hard to fit it on that dish without obstructing the signal. Not possible, the balcony is so tight that it barely fits the 90cm :-) I am very lucky to live in an area that is inside the sidelobe of the Astra 2D beam so it is possible to receive it on dishes 80cm and above.
