Cardboard feed-horn for weak FTA satellite signals

Re: Cardboard feed-horn for weak FTA satellite signals

I believe that is something fake.
As dear kostis said,is like a wifi antenna in *******

It's better to spend more money to buy a new lnb with better quality , than to spend your time to do this feed-horn.

hi kalpikos

I totally agree with that, just want to add: also a good cable and connectors can make a difference.

Again...we saw something similar here about one week ago...
I repeat that things like that, without an accurate project, are meaningless.
Sometimes they can be useful to prevent terrestrial interferences.

Re: Cardboard feed-horn for weak FTA satellite signals

I know when i was living in Cyprus we used to have to install 2.7m dishes to receive sly uk and in those cases we used to have adjustable aluminium feed horn and found that we got better performance with a slightly longer feedhorn

=================================
as rikksow states, adjustment on feedhorn perhaps can improve signal strengh, on extra large dishes.
i have heard of this idea to improve signals in cyprus (some time ago now) for 28 east,
an installer in cyprus, has rikksow heard his nick-name, ( the pie man ) as he used new tin foil pie dish, an placed this on lnb to reflect extra signals.

If the cable is bent at a sharp angle, it can be the reason of decrease in the quality of the signal

I found the following figure of cardboard feed-horn, to improve signal quality.
What do you think?

did you check if the sat signal is improved with this device?
is so, where is possible to buy it

I have not tried it yet.
I think it can't be bought. I believe it's a "Do it yourself".
