Welcome to the forum,

The Inverto Black Ultra's are reported to perform extremely well. Why not try a forum search for more info :)

The inverto black ultra has a long neck so don't forget to set the neck back and forth to get the perfect position and signal for your setup. It really makes a huge difference

Probably no better than the one you had. The ultra however would probably have been better. Before buying an Ultra quite a while back, I went through a number of different lnbs, and found no real difference on my dish, apart from the Inverto Silvertech twin. But The Black Ultra I found to make a huge difference on some satellites on my dish. I would not use anything else for weaker satellites.

Another vote for the Black Ultra. I got mine just a couple of weeks back to replace the Black Gold and it has improved signals all around the arc.

Pretty average, not a patch on the Black Ultra.

Yes I have a white Technomate 0.2dB one (sorry I can't be more specific as I'm nowhere near within looking distance at the moment :D), and the SNR on Astra 1 has gone up a few percent compared to when I was using a Lemon 0.2 so it seems it's a bit better than that one at least.

Sateuropa in the UK, you can google it. Cost £26.95 €32.90 including P & P actually in Feb, didn't get round to installing it until a couple of weeks back. I see you have the Black Premium twin, maybe you could get the Ultra from wherever you got that?

Should have said I also tried the Invacom SNH-031 which was an improvement on the Blackgold but not as good as the Ultra.
