My old Channel Master had a lnb mounted in a 40mm clamp can a lnbf be used in its place. where the old feedhorn used to be.

yes it will work. People do it all the time. I did it on my Primestar dish

Hey Ice, does the signal suffer any due to the fact that the OEM feed sits closer to the dish than an aftermarket LNBF. I always wondered about that since on my 90cm P* the factory feed is matched to the dish. I would think you would over illuminate the dish and pick up thermal noise.

not really. I have a P* at G11 and when the factory LNB blowed up I temporarily swapped it with a regular LNB (gutted so it would fit on the 25mm spot) and the signal was the same. I have tried 3 or 4 LNB's on there and they all are the same

The flange is still the best though. They bolt right on there

Cool... An Invacom could work very well since the struts can handle a heavy Lnbf.

They do make a flange version of the QPH031 quad LNB but its expensive
