I have not done so many comparing measurments and I only have a simple satlink satfinder to measure signal. However, I moved the Inverto LNB that I previously had on my Triax dish to the Gibertini and replaced it with a generic one. I lost more than a dB on the Triax because of the change.

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any experience from how the LIBOX LNBs compare to Inverto Black Ultra and Galaxy Innovations? I got a bunch of LNBs when I bought my pre-owned Gibertini dish and I see quite a difference for quality and sensitivity between the various LNBs.

I am thinking about changing my IBU single LNB and need some advice. It still works but seems to have lost its edge over the years. I tend to loose some channels on my Gibertini at noon every day. I have seen in previous threads that the Galaxy Innovations GI-212e has been praised. A number was...

st1, thanks for the offer. The Prodelin dishes look really appealing... My current dish is a Gibertini 125, do you think that a Prodelin 120 would out perform my dish? Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any 150 cm Prodelin dishes?

I have been keeping an eye on bema's logging for the last couple of days and it seems like we have had a rough period here in Western Sweden. He lost almost all spot beam channels except Channel 5 and Channel 4 during daytime yesterday. In the past, my Triax 110 was absolutely sufficient for the...

Thanks for your input. The cheerful reply from 4wd may be bad for us on this side of the "null" ;-). Maybe I should try a new LNB. My current Inverto Black Ultra Single is about two years old. What about the Maximum quad and twin? Are thet as good as the single? I did have good reception on all...

I lost Astra 2E SD channels at lunch time today for no weather related reasons. During the last couple of month I have had stable reception on all channels on 2G and 2E. The 2E HD channels with limited rain margin though. The SD channels returned today in the afternoon and the HD channels...

St1 and bema, what puzzles me is that I do get good reception on 11024H (BBC4 HD etc, I assume that it is from 2G?), while I am struggling with 11053 H (ITV Wales HD etc). Should't the reception of these two transponders be similar? Sorry bema, I did not quite understand your comment. No signal...

It is a used dish that I bought from a satellite enthusiast is southern Sweden. It was advertised on the used items market blocket.se

After some more adjustment, I seem to be getting all the BBC channels alright, bur I am still struggling with ITV and channel 4 HD. During parts of the day, I can get the 11063H transponder, but the ones at higher frequencies seem impossible. When I tune to them manually, I get 0 for both...

The dish is now up and running and the results are somewhat positive. Particularly the astra 2e seems to be stronger. However, I do have some problems with 2g HD channels. Maybe I need to adjust the skew better? I moved my black ultra single to the new dish so I have good cross polarisation...

Thanks for encouraging comments. The installation is currently in progress, as can be seen in the photo. I will pour some concrete where the 75 mm post rests in the ground. Then I have to get some good cable etc.

Update! I did buy a Gibertini 125 and finally it is in place. Hopefully, I will have it up and running by the weekend.

st1 -thanks for the advice with the fishing line. How should I do the threading? Two lines crossing in the middle? How close should the lines cross to be satisfactory in that case (not indicating a bent dish)? A 150 cm Gibertini dish would be great, I am not sure if my neighbours would...

I currently use a Triax TD110 for 28.2 E with a fairly good result. In good weather conditions I get all channels except 10847V (BBC HD) 24/7 (10847V fades out for some hours at lunch time and in the middle of the night). Currently, I have good reception from 2G, but it was not the case right...
