Hi

This is going to be my first motorised satellite system and I have gone for a budget system. The bits I have purchased so far are (all purchased after reading very helpfull info on here):-

Technomate 1500 CI receiver
1.1m dish
DISECQC motor with usals

I now need to buy a budget LNB. I hope to watch channels from arabsat so which of these budget lnb's is the best?:-

Smart Titanium TSX .2dB Single Universal LNB
Inverto Silver Tech Universal Single LNB 0,2 dB
SatConn Universal Single LNB 0,2 dB Sky
Golden Interstar Universal Single LNB 0,2dB SKY
Fortec Star 0.3 Universal LNB
MTI Supreme Digital Universal Single LNB 0,2 dB AP8-ST2

Thanks for the help :cool:

Well I use a single Maximum 0.2db to watch ASTRA at 28.2 from Greece and I'm doing it with a 1.2m dish and 70m cable run ... if that's any help.

Got a dual output 0.2db Lemon here and it's working fine. Also a Lemon Monoblock and that works perfect for 19E/13E.
