I have a channel master for the last 15 yrs and it has served me very well no complaints at all. I replaced the LNB last year with a black ultra and it made a huge difference is signal quality so maybe it would be a good idea to invest in a good LNB and it wont matter what 1.2 dish you get. Regards Franner.

Elite Antennas Ltd, formerly Precision Engineering but they bought out all of the tooling etc. Nothing comes remotely close to these, the rest is just junk compared to this mob.

Regards Franner.im with you 100% on this one Franner mate ,
The most Solid steady dish ive ever seen Channel master 1.2m with inverto black ultra LNB ..its already seen 141kmph winds thats 87.6133mph wind hitting it head-on and hardly even moved whereas all my other dishes even my 2m prime focus needed Re-adjusting again next day .
i cannott say enuff about the quality Signal and stability of this dish its just fantastic .
ive not moved off 16e much as i use this dish basically just for reading my Tring card but i guess soon that will change and a new sat will need to be found to park at soon when tring goes busted if recent news is going to be proven correct .

And Another big wind storm headed my way in next 24hrs yet again .. i guess my dishes are about to get tested once more but im sure My channel master dish will survive easily enuff ...I Hate Wind !!

I have a 1.2 and 1.8 Channel Master both over 15years old and as good as new, never needed any adjustment, and will easily do another 15 years, probably not so good if you want to sell a replacement, as they have seen loads of recievers over the time

Is the black lnb with channel master 1.2m better than a feedhorn/lnb?

If you can Find a Fibo Gregorian 1.2m this is the king of all the 1.2m out there, Performs more like a 1.5m. Problem is they are scarce and only come along every so often, i have the Gibby 1.25 but would give it up tomorrow for a Fibo.

my 90cm fibo's still going strong, motor too, had it 15 years now,

tho now ive moved home, its ground mounted so could up it to a 1.2 fibo, but not much hope of finding one any time soon!
