Cool! Might have to give it a try on my dish!
What receiver was that? (like the display for signal and quality)

it is a Viewsat Ultra, it has the nicest displays (in my opinion) of any receiver i have or have used (and i have LOTS!) but no DVB-S2
Shame it's not DVB-S2, but definitely a keeper since there's still quite a few DVB channels yet. I found that out the hard way when my equipment recently took a lightning strike and needed replaced. I had to temporaily use an old Sonicview 4000 (DVB only as well). That one has a nice feature where you can display a snapshot of 4, 9 or 16 channels on screen and then select the one you want to watch. Shame some of the newer receivers don't retain these nice displays and features - they should be able to do them really well with the fast processors in them.it is a Viewsat Ultra, it has the nicest displays (in my opinion) of any receiver i have or have used (and i have LOTS!) but no DVB-S2
Mikey, could you post a close up pic of your lnb holder, ?i might have to try that
Is that the original one with the dish, or did you adapt for the C band LNB ?
it is not the original LNB holder, it is specifically made for a c-band LNB on an offset dish
Wow. Good to see the old Viewsat still in service. Too bad its not S2 cause its one of the best STBs made!
I need to get a cband lnb for my 1 meter primestar and see what I can do with it out at lake. Its just sitting in my back yard next to my unimesh at the moment.

for a COLD setup 99w is pretty much the way to go.
before putting up the BUD, i got most all the really good stuff on 99w with a obsessive compulsively well tuned 1m dish with a conical scaler and a bsc421.

Get yourself a titiaum pll lnbf you see the difference I will guarantee you see better results. Lesea channels should be higher than that be about 70 on quality. Look at my setup for example.
