[QUOTE="Llew, post: 1124320, member: 175007"] If you have deep pockets, the way into KA band reception is to splash out on one of the Norsat or SMW LNBs; then you need to source a feedhorn for your particular choice. A few years ago some members here were able to obtain an Inverto combined KA/KU LNBF for a decent price through a quantity purchase. The KA band covers Band D, where several Sub-Saharan African channels are available on 16E and 7E (occasionally 4E, but not recently), probably feeds to the African diaspora in Europe. Unfortunately Inverto don't seem to be interested any more in supplying the unit to anyone other than large companies (satellite internet providers probably). Other than those expensive LNBs, sometimes the occasional cheaper (sub £50) KA LNB can be found on fleabay, in particular those used by the North American HughesNet broadcaster. These are usually for Band B, but one or two of us have been fortunate to get Band A and Band D versions. Bear in mind though that some of these have large heavy transmitter units fixed to them, and sometimes the seller is reluctant to send the LNB separately (the cost of sending to Europe can be more than the LNB's price). KA Band A LNBs will allow you to access the ITN NewsNet feed on Astra 1L 19E and its occasional OB feeds there, and the Italian Teleippica horseracing feed. [/QUOTE]
