I'm searching for the best hq lnb

[Jeff10101]

Hi

I have a channelmaster 1.2m with a motor.
I've just replaced my old lnb (inverto black ultra 40mm)
He was around 10-15 years old or something.

With a new one: Alps Lnbf single, 0.2db (30 euro's)
The result is slightly better, but still ... not enough.

The technician told me, to buy a more expensive lnb.
Around 60-80 euro's to get even better results.

My problem is mostly ...
these weaker signals on 7°W Nilesat, 26°E, ...
Even with clouds in the sky, I don't have a signal anymore on many of them.

What's the best high quality Lnb for weaker
signals/transponders ? The money is no problem.
A bigger dish is not possible for me.

Lnb suggestions please ... thank you

I suggest Best LNB

 

[Jeff10101]

Ok, so you mean B.e.s.t (Germany) ?
B.E.S.T Elektronik GmbH
Never heared from them till now.

Any idea, what model/type is best for weaker signals,
because they have many lnb's.

Any other opinions are also welcome

you can Google on MTI High Line Series

If i am correct .. Channelmaster uses Primefocus, also available from MTI.

If you Mount a normal lnb at a channelmaster the distance from LNB to dish is too big.

Hi I use B.E.S.T lnb for long time they are value for money ,I use
HD3D 101 Single,I compare them with many others LNB's they are the best,they give 3db moor than other common one's,but look for week signals only God can do miracles !!.

model: Best Germany HQDL 101
Input: 10.7 to 11.7 GHz / 11.7 to 12.75 GHz
LO: 9.75 GHz / 10.6 GHz
Output: 950-1950MHz / 1100 - 2150 MHz
Temperature range: -40 ° ~ 60 °
Gain: 57dB
Feed diameter: 40 mm
suitability: digital + analog

Topic starter is talking about a channelmaster 1.2m .

In my opinion that Dish dos not use a standerd LNB

 

[mdt]

you could try using inverto black pro c120 and CM feedhorn or inverto black ultra lnbf. also look at the invercom c120/lnbf. there is nothing you can really do to substitute for a larger dish!
which stb do you use as the DR-HD F15/D15 or TM5302HD/5402HD have the most sensetive tuners available on stb,s today,regards mdt

inverto black ultra lnbf has long neck so you can ajust the focal point. i think you mean c120/feedhorn not prime focus. personally on a quality dish like the andrew 1.2m id always go with a feedhorn/c120 combo but people are getting good results with the inverto black ultra.. at only £11gbp its worth trying before spending £60-£80 on a feedhorn/c120 combo imo,regards mdt

Both inverto black ultra lnbf & Best lnb's are good quality units...

If I were you I would look into the proper alignment of your Dish especially as regards the plumb line of your pole ...(how perfectly vertical it is.) It is surprising how many dishes are not properly aligned and this will cause loss of signal especially on the most Eastern and Western Satellites. The Pole must be perfectly plumb, no little there and here if you want to get the weak signals.

I myself use an inverto black ultra and have done comparison checks on weaker signals with this giving me the best results. Surprisingly different receivers can give varying results as I have compared 3 at a time. Alignment is a very important issue though which can never be ignored. You havent stated your location and which transponders on which sats or causing you the most problem. Need a bigger picture really to assess fully.

What do you mean by Plumb Line, how it can be aligned well or corrected ?

Check your mounting pole of your dish ie what your motor/dish is fastened to motorised or not with a spirit level all around the pole if you feel these necessary. The 'bubble' in the middle should stay centralised if your pole is true ie 'plumb' as some may say. You will be surprised at how many masts I've checked that are quite a way out of being truly vertical in all directions. If you do not own a spirit level you are guessing if if your pole is correctly true or not. This I cannot stress enough is very important. Your mounting pole may be leaning slightly to the east or maybe west etc. Hope this helps.

I am having problems with the golf feeds on 24.5w i used to get them but the last few weeks have been more or less no signal ,i just about got one of them today but it kept flashing on and off
i have a 1.2m dish using azbox and tbs 6925 card
based in west of scotland i dont know which dish or lnb i am using as it was put together by someone for me a few years ago but i would guess not an expensive one

is the lnb easy to replace or would i be better getting the person in that i got to re align the dish after a storm last year in to do it

no signal at all in the bottom one

An lnb generally is very easy to replace, as long as you fit the new one in correctly. If your dish is out of alignment it will have affected signals on all sat to some extent if you are I guess using a motorised set up. You need to keep a log of various sig and qual levels of a few transmissions on each sat you can receive. Therefor if anything goes wrong ie strong wind causing an alignment problem etc you will basically be able to tell straight away if any damage has been caused.

yes i usually check to see if i get a signal on any other available TPs i got a good signal on 2 others from 24.5w today but the golf one was so close it kept flicking on and off at over 50% on azbox that i was thinking that maybe a better lnb would have locked it better

it locked on both azbox and tbs card and got a picture for 2-3 mins then it went

I will check the plumb on the pole tomorrow

If Motorized Dish works perfectly with many Sats and only show problem on very few, then you think its not correctly plumbed ?
