    Just score a used Invacom QPH-031 Quad Polar LNB from the bay for $17.75 NICE!

    ADVERTS 1
    Was about $25 bones shipped. Gonna place it on my 1.2M dish and play with it for now. With circular polarity I should be able to find some few ITC channels..

    I remember ripping one open that a friend bought years ago for $60
    Don't forget to pull the plastic guard down over the connectors.
    I didn't even realize it had one until I ripped it apart.

    That's a good deal, the QPH-031 is a very expensive LNBF.

    Hopefully the feedhorn cover won't be UV degraded, which seems to be a problem with these units. The description seems to indicate that the LNBF was never actually installed outside, so that's good.

    I had one of those but the weight of the LNB pulled down on the arm of the dish so my signals were worse...but a 1.2m dish should have some arm braces on it so it should work
