That C band LNB is not bad at all, I had sell and installed this before when the C band still active at that time. easy install, it was selling very reasonable price and I did use the servo motor from there for service or trouble shooting and just dump the LNB and still do not loss money. I think I still have two left.

$50.oo is not too bad but if you can wait, about month or two, there a C/KU LNBF coming out to the market, this, sure will give you more channel to watch, but this is only for fixed dish only. If you want moving the dish, yes the MicroPak is needed.

I liked the Micropak when i installed dishes, neat and compact and good value.

It's a no brainer to buy.
