    old c band & upgrade

    I have been using a middle of the road quality Ku lnb for a number of years with good results. It is an Astrotel universal, I think I paid about $50 for it. Dish alignment is generally more critical for Ku, but once you have your dish properly set up, you should have no trouble. bud1981
