I decided on a technomate tm-2 against what seemed like unanimous acclaim for inverto. No regrets whatsoever. Brilliant signal on my Duo2. Fantastic hd picture and excellent sensitivity on weak transponders.

The "0.1dB" specification is utterly meaningless. Seriously, once the noise figure is below 0.6dB right across both bands (Hi and Lo), then lowering it further (even if that were technically possible, which it isn't) would make no discernible difference to reception.

Can you get MBC on Nilesat 102 @ 7 west 11938 V DVB-S/MPEG-2 27500 3/4 with this Lnb ? my experience of these Lnb's is not good for weak feeds as the Inverto black Ultra but I would like to be proved wrong,

Where are you in Europe ??

Agreed, But. I don't give a stuff for optimised quoted figures. I am merely saying I get a good picture - I tend to look at the picture more than the specification sheet.

My first scan of Badr 4/5/6 pulled 248 channels in. I'm looking at Al Jaz on 12034 - SNR 50% - A/V. Excellent.

Just checked MBC same as above.

Post lacks many details:-
Dish size
What satellite ( s ) your tracking
which are the weak tps and on which bird
ETC.

I could state my maximum lnb gets a brilliant signal with my arion 8000hd even on weak tps.

Would you believe me?

7.0w marginal at best. Intermittent lock only. May improve as dish is slightly out.

Whoa! Somedal. I didn't realise this was a Competition! Shall we just measure our Johnsons Now! Take it down a notch man it's bad for my ticker..

I am still setting up the kit really and seeing what I can get I'll paste a strap line I use which summarises my kit:-

"Miserable, fat, ugly, old sod. Vu+ Duo2 2 dual DVB-S2, 1gig pvr, 1 mtr motorised - technomate 2300, 60cm on 28.2, Onkyo TX-NR 609 & JBL 5.1, Panasonic DMR-HWT 1gig freeveiw pvr, Samsung LE40A656 LCD, Sony PS3, Sony u-matic & VHS, Asus media pc and a partridge in a pear tree.

Glad to answer any questions but I haven't really measured signals, if there is anything you would like me to try I'd be interested to see what I get..

Just rescanned and repositioned 7.0w. 314 services found. MBC1 in HD clear as a bell. But in french. Is that Good?

Style on at the moment, it's quite good. In English now some gorgeous models talking about clothes. Excellent HD picture. Conax encryption.

If you are considering this LNB this may be helpful -

Tele Satellite Magazine Test Report - 'an absolute top performer and probably the best LNB we ever tested' The range has been highly recommended by Tele Satellite Magazine saying that the 0.1dB range is 'surprisingly good' and that it 'defeated our reference device in almost every point of the Ku-Band!'.

The higher the gain of the LNB the higher its output power should be for the given signal. Our reference LNB was no match for it...it is really a top performer...having so perfect results.

The noise performance of both models was better than our reference' LNB, therefore this ensures that the signal is noise-free with no distortion.

They provide very good S/N ratio what enables the user to receive weak transponders with high bad weather margin.

The Gold Series 'additionally give high level of output signal what is important in those antenna installations in which long cables or signal distribution devices are used.

Furthermore, Tele Satellite Magazine concluded that the Gold Series of LNBs are 'an absolute top performer and probably the best LNB we ever tested.

If any body pay any magazine they write any thing you like even Tm lnb get the MOON...lol the truth is so far from advertise.
Who was producing very Good Lnb was the Taiwanese company base in Donghuan China ex Skywork i been fist one order ( which after has used even Technomate )now new name Sksteck here _http://www.sksteck.com/ which i have produce before Digitalb LNB and DarkGOLD after come with the Name GOLD ! ( But TM is only copying their shape they are have left now and they produce in most cheapest Chinese company and what they do add The plastic Gold...That don't mean is the best because of Colors ! Another Company ordering from then proper the best gain is DarkGold Vuplus,,if any one is interesting here it is...

hre is the original from Manufacture they have no any real Gold color...lol by request you can do Gold red haw you like.

Sally, I have some difficulty understanding your post which would be more convincing if you were not advertising your own product, in clear breach of forum rules.

The gold referred to is gold plate on the cable connection which is becoming good practice throughout the electronic connection industry. This is used to improve conductivity and resist oxidisation. It is not plastic as you aledge as it needs to be conductive.

I'm sorry but I don't understand the rest of your post which seems to swing between libel and complete rubbish.
