    Sometimes a 0.6dB LNB is better than a 0.3dB

    I can get some channels on Thor/Sirus with 1m and 0.9db LNB. (Limerick)

    With a 1.8M dish even a 1dB LNB probabily work.

    What could you expect to receive not more easy on Hotbird or Astra?

    Or do you want specifically scandinavian Languages?It mostly encrypted. D2MAC almost gone.

    Whos to say that a 0.3db LNb is not really a 0.7db version and vice versa.

    You will pay quite heavily for a "performance" LNb but personally i think most people are píssing their money away.
    Most people wont need a dish bigger than 80cm's and should they need extra signal then imo, going for a bigger dish such as either a 90cm or 1M dish will cost about the same and offer much more signal in return.

    Sirius tends to be extremely weak during the night especially the vertically polarised stuff as like 2D, it is very tight to a specific region.

    I find it impossible to get anything after 9pm and using a 1.1 dish.
