[QUOTE="kb espania, post: 1146059, member: 417517"] Hi guys I'm hoping one of you knowledgeable types might be able to help or point me in the right direction. I'm fortunate enough to have a small place in southern spain I have a famaval 1.8m parabolic metal dish the LNB is old , i think it says Sivacom G120 uni twin 0.3db , the graphics are scratched and faded ( see pics) I appreciate i am on the limit of reception I use it to pick up Sky I often have loss of one of the two signals ( when you check the sky settings signal strength and quality) one of the bars does not register. This gets worse in the hot weather and strong sun but it's intermittent, better in the winter and no sun. I have been told that its to do with atmospheric conditions ,but i don't understand why one of the signal bars seems to work fine. Is it likely to be a defective LND or is the dish too small Would increasing dish size improve things Could you advise me on a quality LNB if that will make a difference, its much narrower than the type you get on std uk sky dishes, also I would like one that will also give me a separate freesat feed [/QUOTE]
