    Best LNB for a channel master dish?

    Looking to replace my current Invacom 0.3db LNB, which isn't performing as it used to, just wanting people's opinions on which is the best one currently available. Is the Invacom still one of the best? Need one with a C120 flange though.

    Fortecstar quad FSKU-4V is what I use, has been my best LNB yet.

    It's not a C120 though, but has been better than any C120 I tried.

    Yes.....we have in Alicante a proven testing ground as we are right on the fringe of Astra 2D footprint and the quad is the most sensitive LNB for the weakest signals.

    With a top quality prime focus dish, which you have, I have not experienced a better performing LNB than the quoted.........here with 1.9m and 2.4m dishes needed to receive the 2D transponders, the Invacom is accepted as the norm for installation.

    Best wishes with your replacement. gif.gif

    Thanks for your opinions guys, think i will get another Invacom, but think i will get one other too to test it against and see which is best.

    When I tested single feed c120 LNBs on my Channel Master offset dish a few years ago the Inverto came out best.

    Ended up ordering another Invacom 0.3, as these get consistently good reviews and having used one myself i know they are decent LNB's. Wanted one to compare it against, was tempted by the Inverto, but can't really afford both of those so went for a cheaper Smart Titanium 0.2 second edition, as i've seen good reviews for these, but if it turns out to be no good it'll do as a spare!
