LNB question

[ccrocket]

What is the best LNB? Is there one to pick all sat?

 

[PSB]

The BEST LNBF out there right now MUST be the Invacom QPH-031 it is a low noise (0.3dB) unit, has 4 outputs. 2 linear and 2 circular, so it will work for KU and DBS satellites.

+1 on that. Just recieved one last night and my quality darn near quadrupled! I now get SBS6 feeds in clearly with no breakup of sound or picture.

What about the Dual Standard FTA LNBF and the DSS LNBF? are they good too for all the satellites?

 

[Mr Tony]

you mean 2 LNB's?

You can do that but the DBS one will not be at the normal location, because it is off by 5 degrees or so

(I use to use this setup and when I was at 97 for IA5, I could get Nimiq1 at 91 on the DBS slot)

Yes, I bought the LNBF bracket so I can have two different LNB at the same time,one is Universal and the second one is DSS LNBF. ALso, I meant if they are good to catch the signals from all the satellites Ku and C bands?

 

[Mr Tony]

KU-yes
C-no

C-band is a different animal

C-band is a different animal

You can say that again... Although they are much easier to aim at

If you were going to install two seperate LNB's one circular, one Linear, and they were goingt obe on seperate dishes, pointing far away from each other. Can you name some of each that fall into the .3db range? I love my QPH-031, but I want to setup another dish that points where Dish-1 can not.

So the Top two LNBs of each type, would be?
