I would say just go for a low noise, ie .2 or .1db.
the last one i got was a darkgold 0.1db and it performs very well on the 1.2m dish its now on but it was priced right.
Over the years i have played with loads and they are all so much better now than 10+ years ago it makes little difference.
The only thing to remember is if you have a sat that you watch and is on the limit of what you can recieve, 1st get a bigger dish if that is not a option get the lowest noise lnb you can and set it and dish up to its optimum, the lnb gives the least
1st bigger dish
2nd reciever with better tuner
3rd lnb

I tried smart titanium 0.2db (2nd edition) and best 0.1db on same setup.
The best 0.1 lnb is far better and could get low signal channels with no picture freeze.

This is what I suspected for some time and it's the best advice I have heard on the subject, so I'll continue with my old 0.4 or whatever it is lnb for the time being.
Thanks veru much, tr8.

To me the main problem with The Invacom LNB is that it consumes about 100 mA and I can't use it with a motor because the DM7025 can't suport the two together.

AND DON'T FORGET CHECK ALL CABLE FEED'S AND CONNECTORS FOR CORROSION BEFORE CHANGING YOUR LNB,
I RECOMMEND CUTTING BACK AT LEAST 150mm AND FITTING NEW F CONNECTORS AND COVERS
ALL THE BEST 2009
that shouldn't be needed if the f connection was fitted correctly and waterproofing tape was used
