First of all, please bear with me everyone, as I'm a newby to the technical side of Satellites, etc....

Basically, I've lived in Spain for approx 5 years & have mostly been quite lucky with the overall Sky reception until just recently.

I believe my LNB is on it's last legs after all these years in the sun, where channels which I had no problem viewing in the past - are now pixating quite badly!

I would appreciate therefore, if someone could please recommend the best LNB (single) for the area where I live?

For general reference, I have a 1.3 M Dish & use a PACE DS430N Receiver.

Thanks in advance,

John

Inverto Black Ultra.

I suggest painting the body white (except the cap).

5 years is a reasonable lifespan in those conditions.

Thanks hexah,

I don't suppose there's an alternative in White?

They seem to be convinced that black is THE colour.

It is the best LNB as it is designed specifically for fringe reception.

Note that there is a pull down bit around the f connector that helps keep the rain out, but don't forget the self amalgamating tape.

Yes, the Black ultra only comes in black of course, but as the rumours say, its a good one for fringe, seen evidence of it so many times. Spray it white.
