hi sideralgr

hmmm, bit difficult to say

I think the dish size is more important, as well as the dish alignment/adjustment. On the other hand, quality of the lnb can be important too ...
In fact: what exactly is your problem, so why do you ask this?

Re: lnb quality

Mostly all these things matter in low signal areas, If you live in high signal gain areas, then its not much matter for you

Re: lnb quality

It's one part of the "chain of the signal receiving".
If it's too cheap you loose too much signal that you can't compensate this with a good rest of your equipment.
I think it's very important to have all your equipment in equal performance.

if you stay in Greece then a bigger dish and a good lnb will be needed than if you stay in UK. A big role also play the satellites you try to get, hotbird is one of the easyer to get from Greece and has the most Greek channels.

a bigger dish is some times difficult to be placed if you are staying in a flat, the idea is to compensate a small dish quality with a good lnb, for instance a 90cm dish instead of 110cm

hi

I'd go for the biggest possible dish, influence of bigger dish will be a lot more than a 'better' lnb on a smaller dish (20 cm smaller) - of course, also a good quality lnb won't harm you ...

Re: lnb quality

good qulality of cable and big size dish and quality of lnb effect for receive good signal
you buy lnb that have qood quality like inverto
as i check i saw this lnb receive about more than 6 percent from others

Re: lnb quality

Of course the quality of the LNB allows to improve the level of the signal, I some time ago because of poor signal changed to the LNB to a more qualitative and got a good result.

Re: lnb quality

I believe that the size of the dish is more important than an lnb.

I have tried many lnbs, of different qualities and prices ...
ok, when you pay more you get more, but there is no comparison to the bigger dish.

If your reception is limited, then a good lnb will help you to improve a bit your signal, but you will have better results if you use a little bigger dish.

A difference of 20cm in a dish is significant and I think it's worth its money.

Re: lnb quality

Hi,

i thing you don't need to compare the dish size and a lnb. Both are very important. That means you need to choose the best lnb and dish.
a signal is bad as its worst member

Re: lnb quality

When looking at another post in this forum along with the bigger dish a bigger feed horn to
the lnb seem to increase the strength of the signal and this coupled with a more sensitive
tuner helped as well, therefore the quality of the lnb is the least important component.

Re: lnb quality

This discussion again diverting toward big dish , In my opinion, STB should have the quality to perform on minimal available signals

Re: lnb quality

The size of the dish and a good lnb are important to have a good signal reception. I suggest Inverto Black Ultra lnbs - they have a good price/quality ratio.

Re: lnb quality

DVB-S2 Modulation require much better Signal quality and strength to work properly, I am also using Inverto Black Ultra
