The new Premium Inverto LNB arrived today. Firstly, extreme heavy rain today and roads flooded. So a nice day for testig! Compared to my best LNB, the ALPS it gives 10% raise in quality on the difficult BBC signal. Others have an increase from 50 to 80% in quality. Not bad in heavy rain!!! This is so far the best LNB I have. It looks like my bad weather problem is no longer a problem on BBC. I can recommend this product, price is not bad either. I ordered it from a german seller. The front of the LNB is slightly larger than normal LNBs. If you dont want to install a bigger dish this migh do the trick for you.

The PLL lnb was a good one. I have retired the other ones I have. I bought a used dish and got some "new" LNBs along with it. I noticed a SHARP, it could be a winner to looking at the datasheet. Made in Japan!
1

Premium inverto sln-410 pllT
Superb!+

2

Sharp bs1k2el200a PLL twin
Superb!

3

Alps bsne8-601a
Excellent

4

Inverto black ultra
Good+

5

Megasat diavolo
Good

-----not tested

Canal digital with legacy twin
Microelectronics ak541-xt2-le with legacy
Maximum digital technology SF-10
Goobay 67270 uni twin lnb
Unknown, label off

Any good ones of the last five?
I assume the canal digital may be of good quality.

I am not going to buy more for now, but a test of the sharp lnb would be interesting as this is PLL.

What is your guess?

Have never tried any of those LNBs so can't comment. Just because the Sharp is PLL doesn't mean it's going to be better than all the non-PLL LNBs :)

Please can you post a side by side photo of the new Inverto vs Black Ultra, to compare the length of the necks. :)

Thanks, the new Inverto looks to have a decent length neck, will have to try one :cool:

Take note the diametre of the funnel is slightly larger, say 5mm. But I guess you may find exact measurements in the data sheet. I saw it locally for only £15, but they were sold out. I could not wait for delivery, so I ordered from Germany via e-bay. Price is next to nothing for an upgrade

The new Premium inverto LNB is the new black ultra in my view i look forward to other members results. Its maybe just the LTE filter that makes the difference.

Golden media 202+ just arrived and quickly fitted (can't miss Countdown!). Getting high band channels, Sky news,Sky Arts, Pick, that were missing while using IBU to the Zgemma H9S. TM nano m3 saw them though.

Slightly off topic but...I intend to take my 1.2M dish off the motor for the winter. However, I still have the very first small dish I motorised when I began the hobby and I'd like to put that on the motor instead. It may be an interesting comparison to try the IBU and this Premium Inverto on the small dish. All depends on weather and time issues..

A quick test tonight Badr-4 @ 26°east with OP Gibertini 100 XP With TM5502HD.

90% of signal quality over 70% all Lnb's all transponders,

Except 12073 H 27500 BBC World News HD
eek.gif


Inverto Black Ultra = 72% SQ
Inverto PLL ========= No Signal
Golden Media GM201+== No Signal

Weather permitting I will test all 3 over the satellite arc soon,

Looks like the Inverto Black Ultra has no competition atm :)

Going by my experience this week one cannot guarantee that the IBU will give better results than a GM202+ with a particular receiver on a particular channel.
We previously blamed my lack of Sky news etc. on the Zgemma H9S being "deaf" on the high band. How can we explain changing to the GM202+ letting me see Sky news? Was the IBU too strong at some frequency that "deafened" the Zgemma tuner? Is the GM202+ more responsive at 12070H than the IBU? Is there a spectrum analyzer for enigma2?

The Inverto PLL needs to be nearer to the dish so I may have to saw a few inches off the Lnb arm ?
I improved the 201+ readings by pushing the Lnb forward as far as it will go then the rain came so
Test halted for now.

From my testing there is little gain in adjusting the neck of the PLL LNB. I could take it one cm forward or backwards with no big difference in signal. Little to gain here. I guess because once the signal enters the LNB it does not matter so much as long it's in center, so you should have no worries.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Signal perhaps, but it can with a matched feed ( ie. elliptical to elliptical, remove over illumination and background interference.

Many dish manufacturers of offset dishes will have a focal point that under illuminates, because of the lack of matched feed or the regions where sales using generic LNBFs matter most means they just don’t care.

[OP Gibertini 100 XP Lnb Arm reduced in length by 23mm for test-2**]

At least the Inverto Black Ultra is in a more normal position & not fully forward in the Lnb holder,
So more tests later this week with various Lnb's recently bought .

[OP Gibertini 100 XP Lnb Arm reduced in length by 23mm for test-2**& all proceeding Lnb tests]

At least the Inverto Black Ultra is in a more normal position & not fully forward in the Lnb holder,
Tests with Golden Media 201+ & Inverto PLL improved signals where there was none with the reduced length Lnb arm.
All 3 Lnb's performed very well some variations in readings are probably due to weather conditions.

[Last test with TM6902HD OP Gibertini 100 XP + Inverto PLL the SQ is lower but just as strong a signal & is a more realistic
scale than the SX88 series.]

I was wondering if a Inverto Flange Single Idlb/SINFO1/Oopro/OPP is much difference than a Invacom Flange Single SNF-03. The price difference is amazing.

[OP Gibertini 100 XP Lnb Arm reduced in length by 23mm for test-2**& all proceeding Lnb tests]

At least the Inverto Black Ultra is in a more normal position & not fully forward in the Lnb holder,
Tests with Golden Media 201+ & Inverto PLL improved signals where there was none with the reduced length Lnb arm.
All 3 Lnb's performed very well some variations in readings are probably due to weather conditions.

[Last test with TM6902HD OP Gibertini 100 XP + Inverto PLL the SQ is lower but just as strong a signal & is a more realistic
scale than the SX88 series.]

Hey mate, i find your testing hard to follow.

What was your conclusion - was the older \ normal IBU better than the new PREMIUM PLL one?

The older IBU was better overall with the shortened Lnb Arm.
