[QUOTE="geoffreys, post: 28234, member: 176167"] Hi, well it was a local guy whose name I can't even pronounce, never mind spell! I am aware of regular comments on here (and other websites) that the single output Invacoms do not perform as well as the quad or even the twin. This is why I thought my thread might be of interest to others. I can assure you that tiredness was not a factor. More likely, I suspect, is variations in batches of the various models - like anything in component manufacture tolerances and performance are bound to vary within a band of limits. Bottom line is that for any particular installation it pays to try more than one LNB to achieve the best result. I wonder if all installers are so flexible and diligent as mine was!? Just look at the UK scenario when BBC went over to 2D; many subscribers found that shoddy installation work resulted in loss of signal and they had to have installer re-visit to sort it out. In my situation I had been told my several SATTV retailers that to get reliable 2A/2B reception I would need to have a dish of at least 2.7m. My supplier/installer advised 2.4m would be fine - he was right and so saved me quite a bit of money. Regards Geoff Cyprus [/QUOTE]
