Worth changing LNB ?

BowWow · 2006-12-18 19:25:11

Have a FTA system. Reception on BBC, ITV etc. excellent, but reception on other stations, e.g. True Movies not so good, gets "blocky" on a regular basis. I've tried rotating LNB, but no difference. Current LNB is a .6 - would it be worth while replacing it with a .2 version? Thanks in advance. Regards, BowWow.

unless the lnb is faulty I would not replace it, sounds more like an alignment or cabling issue

0.2dB NF LNBs are no better and sometimes worse than 0.6dB NF LNBs

What Tony says. ^^^^^^
