Final I have the feed working the best signal for the 8ft dish and 7/1/2 dish at 8ft rtp at 55.5 west Rtp 78quality globo 78q mexico travel at 84q 3768h 65q bbc wod services 73q 3970v 67q 4093 78q 4095 74q 4098 72q rts76q 4105 82q 4111 69q 4112 84q 4138h 78q 4140h 82q 4142v 80q and more on the 55.5 west.At 97 west ku most at 87 to 97 q at 125 west ku from 87 to 93 q at 137 west 74q and the 4000 at 89 91 q.The only problem are at Amazonas 61 west the 3991H last week the quality are at 53 and now after center the dish are at 65 q about 7am in Toronto then by 10 am are at 62 q.The h. lnb are norsat 3120 and before on the Astrotel pm -93-c/ku feed horn I have the same lnb for vertical and I have the vertical channels for the Amazonas .But now on the bullseye2 I have on the vertical the Norsat 8115 I don't like.But if I go to swich to one 3120 lnb the cost for the lnb $180+shipping $40+ taxes $25=$242 $245 for only two more channels from Brazil on the amazonas and few more on the 55 west and 58 west I don't go to expend that for few more channels and few more feeds.I don't no.I Don't like the 8115 for the 137 west to the 72 west very good on the 55.5 west 58 west and amazonas the 3120 on the Astrotel feed did better job.Butt I don't like swich the lnbs If I do the 8115 for h. and the 3120 for the vertical did you the experts on the setups think the 8115 do the same as the 3120 on the h.?

you honestly cant compare lnb's if your changing the feedhorn. As the feedhorn makes a huge difference.
So you still have a 3120 right? if you want to compare the lnb's then record your quality with the 8115 then switch the one lnb for a 3120 and compare the exact same frequencies.
Really though the 3120 shouldnt give you any better performance for anything we're looking at, the 8115 should in theory be slightly better with its lower noise level. Sure the 3120 has a better LO stability but for anything were viewing the 8115's stability is more then good enough. Especially with modern tuner/demodulators that automatically adjust for drift.

I have two Bullseye II feeds, one with 8115s and the other with 3220s. My experience is the 8115 is more sensitive and the 3220 is more stable on a few low signal channels. The 3220s draw twice the power of the 8115s though. IMHO the 3220 is not worth twice the price of the 8115. I bought mine for half price on ebay. I'm glad I didn't fork over the retail price. I've seen the 3220 for $299. Yikes! A fool and his money...

thanks I just leave the things like that .I like the 3120 more stable on the low signal channels like Magic Static said .The 8115 for the price did do good job.I don't no Amazonas don't give the vertical channels 3923v 3941v .Before on the Astrotel feed no problems now only give me the 3991 h dvbs2 signal from 65 to 62 .One day switching the 3120 to vertical and the 8115 to h to see if give me the vertical channels on the Amazonas
