[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 757123, member: 240839"] This is a little warning to everybody who is considering playing with C Band stuff :-righton Don't buy the cheepest lnb you find on ebay as you will inevitably get stung. After ordering the LNB which was supposed to be a brand called Pauxis (Not bad reveiws apparently), a package eventually turned up by rickshaw direct from Hong Kong. After excitedly opening the pack i was greeted with a box that was all in chinese with a brand name of Terrific. It contained the poorest shi**est quality lnb i have ever seen. It looks nice, but thats about it. It didn't fit inside the lnb holder because it was too small and to be honest the levels i got were more than diapointing :-ohcrap It was also miles too small for the WS international Scalar ring i had purchased in order to use it with my offset dish. Anyway i've decided not to be such a cheapskate now and i have purchased a WS International ESX241 lnb for the grand total of £21 all in from the States :-righton Don't buy a cheap lnb off ebay from Hong Kong, China or the far east as you will get what you pay for. They know by selling them cheap they will never get sent back as it costs more to send it back than you paid for the damn thing. They have you by the short and curlys :eek: At least get one from the States as you will have a far better chance of getting what you want and getting an lnb that at least fits the holder :D Nano [/QUOTE]
