    Cable
    The cable to use is CT 100.

    Pitfalls
    Make sure that the connections at the LNB are watertight.

    Don't fall off the ladder. :confused:

    I never "gell up" my F connectors basically cus i change them around so much but it is advisable.

    You can get the water tight gell in any hardware store.

    Use CT100 and get the right LNB for your make of dish, the channel master and triax use different different aperatures.

    Hope this helps

    In a simpler world, the dish manufacturers would make LNb's for their dishs to maximise performance.

    Agreed Chernobyl, they do not even make it easy to identify the make of dish which makes it hard for a customer to order the right one.
