[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 577905, member: 193607"] Have to disagree strongly with you Pedro on the last point, a LNBF (one- piece LNB) will never perform anything like as well as a good C120 LNB, for Astra 2D reception (this is what drives the need for large dishes) a LNBF will disappoint. A 1.8m fortecstar dish will never come anything like a 1.8m ASC/Andrew dish for performance. It's not just build quality, a 1.8m prime focus will always have lower gain than a 1.8m offset dish, owing to the laws of physics. Invacom C120 Quad has been proven many times to give the best BBC & ITV reception on dishes larger that 120 cm. I've done many tests myself, and posted the results on the forum. I have a an interest in a BBC & Sky installation business in Madrid. My partner there will not use anything other than: ASC/Andrew 180 dish, Invacom Quad C120 model QDF-031 and a ChannelMaster feedhorn. There have been reports of people getting all BBC channels in the Alicante region on this dish. I wouldn't recommend anyone getting a 240 cm ASC/Andrew or Prodelin owing to the cost. ASC dishes are very easy to assemble and set up. They are so well- made they never distort in very high temperatures- in effect they are virtually indestructible. Prodelin dishes are very similar. A number of places sell ASC/Andrew (Formerly channelMaster): ASC/Andrew from Demon multimedia (you may have to wait) _http://www.ciberland.com/ Prodelin from Tecatel (contact them to find a local dealer) _http://www.tecatel.com/productoX.php?idp=816 Invacom LNB (currently in short supply) and Prodelin from Antnet Digital _http://www.antnetdigital.com/en/ Feedhorn from:- _http://www.satellitesuperstore.com/feedhorn.htm Prodelin main page, e-mail to request more local dealers: _http://www.tripointglobal.com/antennas.php [/QUOTE]
