Dish upgrade(ish)

[bri2coool]

after the high winds a month or so ago my motor on my dish got busted, so i'm planning new system.... motor, 85cm dish but what lnb should I look to get.I live in the north east of england...

hope someone can give me some advice on this please

cheers

[echelon]

any of the usual suspects , inverto , invacom , mti , sharp , humax etc

I bought the Inverto Twin 0.2 Universal LNB myself last summer for mine

[bri2coool]

Am I correct in thinking the lower the db the better... so 0.2db is better than 0.3db or is it the other way round?

[ManikM]

no, your correct - but depending on manufacturer - a 0.3 "could" be better than a 0.2

its all swings and roundabouts.

invacom is a good compromise.

Take the noise figure with a pinch of salt.

If you get this months what satellite in it they have tested a number of LNB's and marked them.

The smart titanium won.

I have here the twin titanium and its very good, I also have the sharp and that again is very good.

As for the dish if you can afford it then get a Fracarro 85cm dish, its a strange shape but I have just replaced my 110cm televes dish with one and along with the smart titanium lnbf its working great on moteck motor

Hi
But note
In case whitch Motor you use it can be necessary to use a Single LNB
for Exampel: I use a DISEqC 1.2 Stab Rotor and this one Work´s only with a Single LNB
I guess the Inverto LNB is good choice.

[echelon]

a stab rotor can work with any lnb , single , dual , quad

my last lnb on my stab 1.2 was a quad sly lnb for a while and it worked fine , and before that a single invacom

a dual lnb will work on a motor , as I said in post 2

check out this months what sat for lnb tests smart titanium cam out on top, as stated above just loking for a c120 version.

Hi
Maybe your Rotor,but my Rotor is a few Year´s Old(6-7 year´s) and he Work´s only with a Single LNB and he has never Worked with a Twin or even with a Quad.In fact of the Low Power he can not Move the Twin or Quad.

what happens, as your motor gets old it draws more current and a twin or quad lmb also draws more current than a single lmb..
thats why i always recommend a 36volt motor system if somebody wants a motorised satellite.. hassle free viewing ..

the best dish is a channel master 1.2 and a polar mount 18" motor..

the power to the lnb is cut when the motor moves so makes no difference if you use a quad lnb or single one
