[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 183072, member: 199791"] Ok, sorry to drag it up, but I just got me a Squarial too (I started a thread in Retro Tech about it).... I took mine apart and the LNB (or LNC as it says on the label) [I]is [/I]removable, but the mount and shape of the hole is totally different to any other LNB I've seen (although all I have seen are 40mm clamps and a C120 fitted to my Attisat). I am thinking of modifying the LNB by removing the old gubbins and replacing it with a modern Sharp Universal minidish LNB PCB, but I'm not 100% sure whether it would work or not... And then there's the fact that I need a new soldering iron as my old one went BANG!!! :D Anyway, back to the LNB, looking into the hole where the signal is picked up, the little twig looks just like the one in my Attisat's C120 LNB, sooo if I managed to get hold of a C120 (or replace the one in my attisat and use the one taken out of it) I might be able to have a fiddle about and see if that works instead, dunno how I'd attatch it though cos as I said the mount is totally unique to the Squarial... My fingers ache now!!! :D [/QUOTE]
