Why don't installers like octoLNBs?

[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 967094, member: 175057"] That is in my opinion overkill, pull down rain shields, self amalgamating tape with decent quality F connectors correctly nipped up, provide more than adequate protection. Nowadays with compression connectors, "O" Rings and pull down rain shields, nothing else is required. As an installer, I've removed many LNBs, whether due to failure or upgrading, and have only ever seen signs of water ingress where cheap and nasty screw connectors have been used with no rain cover or self amalgamating tape, or the crimp connectors were not tightened sufficiently.
