Time to upgrade - Advice and suggestions

[grahampaull]

Hi All,

I posted this earlier but it didnt seem to post ?

I have a VU+ Solo connected to Motorised 80CM Dish with a standard LNB, I was just wanting to get some advice on upgrading my dish.

I initally bought cheap as I wasnt too sure what to expect but now I am happy I am willing to invest a bit more.

The main channels I am having problems with is TV2 PL1,2,3 HD, I am able to pick these up with a SNR of 55%, if any overcast or rain appears it will go off, if it drops below 55% then I lose them.

I was thinking of upgrading to a Triax TD110, I am stuck on what LNB to get, Im not to sure what the difference is between 0.1db and 0.2db etc

I have about ?120 to spend but I can stretch to ?150 before the missus beats me to a pulp :/.

Also, what would I need to get Viasat PL Channels ?

I am in Belfast. Northern Ireland.

Cheers

Hi

See my set up below. I have no problems getting those channels in the Midlands England

Are you getting the Viasat Premier League Channels ?

Ill have a read up on the FaVal LNB now.

Also, I read a few places saying to use a feedhorn, what is this ?

lnbs that use a seperate feedhorn are a bit specialised.most of what we call lnbs are in fact lnbfs with a built in feed horn.inverto black ultra lnbs are one of the best,I"v found a 5% signal increase compared to a smart lnb I replaced(not a proper test just an observation)

I have ordered a TD110 and think ill go for the Inverto Ultra as you guys suggest, I have also seen this mentioned over and over as a good LNB : INVERTO BLACK ULTRA HIGH-GAIN SINGLE LNB | eBay
