I like my C2 from SatelliteAV.

From the top Norsat is probably the best and most expensive.
California amplifier is pretty good.
I use cheapo chinese DMSi c-band lnbs. fleabay for 10.00 and pick up everything fine.
I can lock hard to get tp's like the HBO's on G1 4DTV, the equity channels on G3 FTA.

I am happy with them on my 10' dish.

I got 2 new WS International 13deg lnbs for my next project on ebay for under 10 bucks each plus minor shipping. I hope they work well. I have a dual chaparral feedhorn.

We have an Eagle Aspen band-stacked C-band LNBF. It uses one cable to provide signal to multiple receivers using a high frequency splitter.

since you said lnb i will post this
most lnb's have a power usage of 15-24 volts ( most dvb receiver supply 13 &18 volts some dvb receivers can supply 14 & 19 volts these are few) now with that out there most of these lnb's can handle the voltage but if you buy the high end lnb's just remember suppling voltage under the rated amount could cause your lnb to fail prematurely.

there are ways to supply the needed amount of power to the lnbs i think some people here use power inserters. a search would turn up those ways.

now with lnbf's there isn't this type of problem.

I listed this cause you didn't list your equipment or what you plan on doing or using the lnb for.

that band stacked system is great. One coax and an HF splitter you could run a ton of receivers off the dish.

LNB frequency

I have a Pansat9200HD, w/1.2m offset Primestar. I'm wanting to mount a DMS BSC621-2D dedicated C/Ku LNBF, what I need is what to set the frequency for the C-Band LNB in the "satellite setup" section, "LNB Type", LNB Local Freq. any help is appreciated.
