[QUOTE="Pincera, post: 1166323, member: 421154"] Following up on my pervious posts on this thread, yesterday I booked what I thought was a reputable company to quote on installing a Hybrid quad LNB and 20 meters of F type shotgun cable. The guy turned up this morning and asked me what I wanted, I told him a Hybrid quad LNB and 20 meters of F type shotgun cable installing, he then tells me they don't do Hybrid LNBs anymore and they are unable get them from the manufactures!!!!!!! I asked him to repeat what he had said and he said it again. I told him that I could go to B&Q or Screwfix and pick up a Hybrid LNB!!! He then waffled on about the possibility of the Hybrid LNB being incompatible with our Freesat box, our Feesat box is connected to the Old Sky Q dish which has a wideband LNB and works perfectly. I think he began to sense that I perhaps knew more this subject than he initially thought, he then offered, if I purchased the Hybrid LNB he would fit it for me and install the 20 meters of cabling for £220!!! Needless to say he will not be getting the work, the Dish is only about 18 feet off the ground, its a bungalow, and as I have previously posted, I am technically capable as I am a Radio Amateur and have been licenced for 40 plus years. I just need to take a page out of [USER=175057]@rolfw[/USER] book and be very very careful. I have no idea what this guys end game was, why would he deny Hybrid quad LNB were being manufactured? There are some odd folk about these days :wacko: [/QUOTE]
