Why don't installers like octoLNBs?

[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 822104, member: 323322"] Nothing. The arm on a Sky dish is so short that a. The turning moment caused by the not that substantial weight of an Octo should cause no more than minimal deflection and b. Any deflection can be counterbalanced by raising the dish to compensate. Electronically, there's no specific reason why they should be inherently more unreliable than eg Quads, but occasionally individual outputs on multi-output LNBs do fail: Not a significant issue, though, in the big scheme of things. I suspect the objections come from cowboys who haven't the time or skill to install cabling in such a way that it doesn't bear weight on the dish. It isn't exactly difficult. [/QUOTE]
