1m dish vs 1.2

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

I'd recommend to get a larger dish and to get rid of motor. On 1.2 dish you can catch half a sky with multifeed. I live in 60,30 and I easily get sats from 5 E to 36E on 1.1 m dish so I guess if you are live in a place like 50,0 you can take every sat from 20W to 20E.

yes but you loose focus that you'd get if you fix LNB to central position.
i.e. 1.2m Thor Telenor package on multifeed will undoubtedly be totally invisible to tuner, while on single lnb you can get the signal !!

i have 1.2 dish and after storm i always have problem with antenna.Need to corect diseq again and again

Pere, now I see why my Disecq Stab HH120 have lost some elevation on Clarks ring??? All signals have dropped by some 20 percent!!??
Didn't know that it needs to be rechecked every few years at least!

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

have you tried titanium 0.1 lnb compared to black ultra
also did you try all black ultra - single, twin, quad
some say that quad Is better for fringe

The Quad out of the Black Ultra rtange is the worst for fringe reception the single is the better option, I have used Singe,Twin and quad and can say the Single far outperforms all the others.

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

only have tested single and twin and twin Is better
In other forum a guy said that quad Is the best
what can you tell us about titanium

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

what can you tell us about titanium

I have used a single and a dual Smart Titanium 0.1db, didn't notice any difference in signal strength or quality between them, they are both really good.

I've not tried a black ultra, I might have a look for one and do a straight swap for the titanium and see what the difference is like.

I notice the Inverto Black Ultra is 0.2db and the Smart Titanium is 0.1db?!

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

Not sure you'll see that much difference between the 2 as they're both pretty good quality lnb's.
Let us know the outcome if you do though.

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

I replaced my 90 CM with 1.10 cm and noticed a big difference by being able to pick about 90% of Nile sat and 26°e and lots of sats west

Hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in on this thread, also I realise this is going off topic. I have used both the Smart and the Inverto twins. I went from the Smart to a Darkgold and from there to the Inverto.All on 1Mtr Dish. On each occasion I had an increase in both signal and quality especially on 26E and 16E, while the increases were not huge they were all worth while ( 2-3% on signal and the same for quality, as I am in Dublin this has really helped to give stable pictures especially in badweather.
Hope this helps.

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

I would always recommend inverto lnb's as I have found them to be the best.
Also hard wearing and longer lasting than most.

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

Give me some sat online shop where I can buy Inverto lnb's!?
Gonna try Ebay!
cheers

Sorry mate. In the u.k. I'd get them on ebay or a reputable online store.
Not sure about your home country. Ebay is probably a good bet.

Re: 1m dish vs 1.2

Yeah, noticed Inverto Ultras are under a tenner from a few reputable shops on ebay.

Had a good chat with a sales guy about the "lies" or false impressions given by manufacturers who can get noise levels to be ultra low - 0.1dB, 0.05dB and even lower.

Inverto buck the trend by posting a 0.2dB lnb that, for the price, is one of the best in the business as most on here testify.

Slightly OT but sometimes the right lnb is better than shifting sizes from 1m to 1.2m...

No matter what LNB you use on a dish you can ask any expert there is no substitute for a bigger dish so the argument that using the black Ultra on a 1m dish will give your 1m SNR of a 1.2m is bollox a 1.2m will outperform a 1m dish anyday of the week.

As for the noise figures take that with a pinch of salt to get anywhere near the quoted levels that the Black Ultra has @0.2db you would have to supercool it which is impossible, i am sure most people on here especially from the UK and other coldish country's that signal gets better in winter times than hot summers days due to the fact that your LNB and cable are less prone to atmospheric noise which results in a slightly better SNR in the evenings than what it does in the daytime.
