[QUOTE="MarsBar, post: 1094314, member: 409749"] I would like to add that I have used OWATROL oil on the LNB in order to prevent moisture and water ingress. There is a challenge to water proof this setup. Originally an universal LNB will have a plastic lid with an O ring to prevent water ingress. Now you have to make your own... What I ended up with was to drill a 1mm drain hole in the bottom of the funnel, and then i cut a lid from a ice cream box and glued it to the funnel with TEC7. (Glued to the largest diametre of the funnel) In order to secure the pipe from the universal LNB, you may use two component rapid epoxy glue. First I used hot melting glue, but too weak. The drain hole is to get rid of condensation that may accumulate. It is also a good idea to keep the satellite receiver on so some heat is created in the LNB to avoid moisture. Originally I only had a membrane of clear tape inside the funnel at the narrow part, but condensation formed. Also spiders loved building a nest inside repeatedly... [/QUOTE]
