Best satellite dish 2019

[Sleepingwiththefish]

8 foot fence now fitted behind my pole ground mounted dishes to protect them from the wind

That looks weak. It would certainly fly away with wind gusts we get over here. The biggest problem is that fence breaking apart and start hammering the dishes making more damage than not having anything there.

The fence is fine there are several steel supports at the front & a old fence behind it,
I have added some wooden framework to the back & front,
It has withstood all the winds today as well

I received today answer from german seller .... ( I think the best satellite dish is the Kathrein CAS 90 )
what you guys think about this dish ? .. its also more expensive.

 

[sonnetpete]

Personally, I think the Kathrein is overpriced. It's well constructed but not that much more than a Gibertini. However, I have no experience of that make. I do have a Gibertini and can vouch for it's constuction and durability...

It's also a 90cm diameter, but it is an equivalent gain at all frequencies. It also has a no quibble 2 year guarantee on everything.

Go for the 1m, unless you are fussy about size, and price.

Actually bought some stuff through their Amazon.co.uk store a few weeks ago. Shipped to NI for £9 flat rate. No complaints especially as most GB based stores would charge at least that as a supplement for delivery here.

Hello again..now am not too busy so going buy Gibertini or Katherein dish today ..but want ask if i keep inverto black ultra lnb in picture or buy new? I also have very weak signal now on 1 west UPC direct .. possibly lnb is starting be faulty? only few channels working.

Whoever installed it failed to pull down the rain cap on the connectors, you could have water in the cable.

And/or the dish is now very slightly out of alignment???

PS: it would be a good idea to seal up unused LNB input connectors.

PPS: If buying another LNB, why not get the Twin version, rather than the Quad version because the Twin should be cheaper, and is said to be slightly "better" than the Quad.

Twin version lnb..yes its will be better because i have only 2 receivers in home.

there is nothing to install.... rain cap is already there, you just need to pull it down from the body of the LNB. I am convinced there is nothing wrong with LNB, most likely antenna needs to be realigned.

 

[RustySpoons]

LNB's are dirt cheap, might as well change it when you replace the dish.

Yes friend ..i just pull cap



but need to buy new dish .. arm already broken and this dish too heavy

 

[jeallen01]

The broken arm has probably caused the LNB feedarm to droop slightly - and that is the likely cause of the misalignment of the LNB and the loss of signal strength.

its working now better after i pull rain cap dawn... too much rain now .. so water also cause loose signal

 

[RimaNTSS]

its working now better after i pull rain cap dawn.

"Dawn" did you mean at the morning time?
If it was meant to be "down" than it can not change reception in any way. Perhaps when you pull down rain cup you changed position of the broken feedarm and that could change the reception.
