So, I went to get my 1.8m dish today (unknown manufacturer)
Got quite a few dodgy looks from people as I was driving with it tied to the roof of a Fiat estate though ;)
The LNB which came with it is made by Nokia... and it's not like anything I've seen on a 'domestic' dish before... It's quite long, the cable fits onto the back, and it doesn't have a feedhorn cap - but an exposed, blue "pepper-pot" with a couple of steel rings around it. Also it has a power cable... I'm just wondering - Has anyone used these Nokia LNBs before, and - does anyone know if an external power source is required - or would the power from the receiver be sufficient?
I'll post some pics soon too, maybe after I've touched up the paint-work as it's started to peel :'(
Thanks in advance,
Deek.
