My inverto packed up after being hit by a football, i replaced it with a fortec from maplins, it doesnt seem as good as the sivertech on my triax 110, any recomendations on a replacement ?

Inverto`s are good, so are Invacom, MTI supreme line. Smart Titanium,

but try and get hold of a 1st edition as the 2nd edition dont seem to be as good.

But out of the list I would go for the MTI supreme line

crossbones what are best lnbs like, have you tried one out ?

i'm looking for a twin/quad lnb and dont want to buy the invacom quad and find it to be not as good on my dish as there is a price difference compared to the others

The German best make lnb-f`s are what darkman re-badged his dark gold lnb!

And according to his site there amazing!

I had one on my gibertini dish, but didnt realy test it.

just seen they are about 12.99 for a twin best lnb on ebay so i might get to check them out.

they might be amazing but some on there don't really have a clue and just go by the receiver signal bars even it could say 100% and still be rubbish

what will make sure is the sat meter db reading

£9.95 for a twin Bigsat! 0.2db no complaints yet!

I have tried the Best 0.1 LNB on a 1m Orbital dish; I won't say it is amazing as it was matched or marginally outperformed by an MTI Supreme Line that I have. I had hoped the Best LNB would make a significant difference to Nilesat reception ---- it didn't.

I had an Invacom twin on a 1m orbital dish,the plastic feed cover was pecked by birds and invaded by spiders. I changed it with an old 0.3 mti blue, this performs marginaly better than the invacom and im going to leave it on there. lnbs perform differently from dish to dish its a matter of experimenting, the price you pay dosent guarantee performance.

has anyone tried mti supreme line lnbs as they are appearing on the auction site

nanochickin · 12-01-09, 09:45 PM

Yes they are really good lnbs, they are my lnb of choice. I have 2 Mti blueline/supreline lnbs sitting in my shed that came off my dishes before i upgraded it to a single Quad lnb to feed another receiver

I replaced it with a 0.2db Triax lnb lnb which failed after 3 weeks in use. When it failed the only quad i had in my van at the time was a quad Televes 0.6db lnb which unbelievably performs aswell as the Mti 0.2db

I was going to change it for an Mti but it perfoms that well i don't think i'll bother
