    What is noise ratio of LNB's

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows what the noise ratio is for the PROPLUS LNB's? Is it worth the expense to purchase any of the 0.3 LNB's? I am going to install a 31" dish as it is.......so would I gain much to go to the 0.3?

    Where does LNB look at the dish?

    Lets say you have a dish that is recieving 110,119, and 129. The LNB for 119 is looking at the center of the dish....I assume. The 110 LNB sits to the right of the 119 LNB and where does it look at the dish, to the right or left of center? Same for 129?
