[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 577829, member: 193607"] neoandy: Short answer- don't! This is the dish which has caused more queries to satellite help boards than any other. The queries usually start 'I have a petallised dish which is not bringing the channels I hoped' or "Why can't I get any BBC or ITV" . The LNB Maplin say is for prime focus is nothing of the kind. It is an Invacom Single SNH-031. It won't work properly as it is made for offset (oval shape) dishes. Maplin used to sell this dish with a C120 LNB and prime focus feedhorn, but now none of the LNBs they sell is suitable. Just avoid and buy something better. Bear in mind the most common dish in the Costa Blanca is the so- called 'Portugese' dish. These are made by Famaval in Portugal and are sold by Tecatel in Spain. They are really mediocre. For best performance buy a professional -quality dish such as a Prodelin or ASC signal (formerly ChannelMaster/Andrew) [/QUOTE]
