More powerful LNB

[sinebar]

Can I get a LNB that is more powerful than the standard LNB's?

Not really but you can get a BIGGER dish with a dual LNB, thats the way most people go when needing more gain. A 30" dish is what I use for DirecTV/Dish, works great its really got to be REALLY bad weather to cause any problems, but thats satellite : )

30" Dish & LNB costs....

PSB,
I am considering upgrading to D* HDTV. I am in the process of trying to select the right receiver, what a pain. Anyway, due to rain fade I am also looking at possibly getting a larger dish. I have a 24" x 18" dish with 2 dual LNB's. What would be the cost for upgrading to a 30" dish with the same setup + an extra SAT C kit? If there is another way to do it, cool. I need to be able support 3 existing receivers + the HD receiver.

Thanks,

You can go with Channel Masters Gain Master for a 3 LNB dish or find space for three 30" dishes to improve the gain.

Thanx Boba,
I take it that a 30" dish won't handle 3 LNB's? The CM Gain Master does look pretty good, now have to figure out how to mount it to a tower!

Now the HD receiver, any suggestions? Need 1 that will always output SD on a secondary port no matter what's being output on the primary port.

Thanx,
