LNB for 58W

[jlrpes]

Can anyone tell me what is a good LNB for 58W?

What Channels are you trying to receive?

I'm using a standard linear c band. 5150L.O. on a 10 ft BUD.

I am trying to get all the channels. I have a universal LNB and the LNB for the HD receiver. I am currently using the Chapparral LNB to see the HD channels using the HD receiver and loss several channels. When I replace the universal LNB and use the normal receiver I get all the channels. It seems that the HD receiver is not getting all the channels. I want to get a stronger LNB.

I would be more concerned about dish size then LNBF.

I have a 2.5 meter antenna. I am trying to get all the HD channels

Want/need more signal? Bigger dish. The dish is a lens. that puts the signal into the lnbf.

I would be more concerned about dish size then LNBF. what size of dish do you have and what channel are you most interested in watching.

He's trying to see the few HD channels from SkyMexico

For Sky a universal is fine, how about using the Spitfire Elite

Is the spitfire good for normal & digital channels?

Many of our customers have been purchasing the LKU1-2A or the DMX524U LNBF and have reported good results. You can see specs for them below:

DMX524U Universal Quad LNBF Specifications

LKU1-2A Unviersal Single LNBF Specifications

The DMX524U comes with a 2-year warranty and is a very stable unit. The LKU1-2A is also a stable unit, but does not come with a 2-year warranty.

I bought a Chapparral heavy duty lnbf, which I seriously think something was wrong with it. since I could get 1 channel out of all sats from 127 G31/H1 to 30 Hipsat.

When I called Chapparral they were very rude & said they never made that lnbf, when I told them it had there name on it the guy hung up the phone on me. The lnb went in the trash & I called Galaxy for a DMX

I have been sold on DMX ever since. I use the DMX741U on that sat you're after with very good results

With a 2.5 m dish I would go with the C/Ku combo, & a actuator to drive the dish if you don't have one

Sky´s Ku, down here they use a generic universal, I forgot to mention that the spitfire elite is hd ready

> Is it ready for HD channels?

All modern day LNB(F) can receive HD, and from a scientific stand point the only thing we really look at are stability, noise floor, and selectivity. With that said it doesn't care what the modulation is HD / SD / FM / S2 or DBS.

If it can hear it, it should pass it down to the receiver. No such thing as an HD only antenna or LNB(F).

HD? You bet! :up
The only thing I would mention is if you planning on Subing like a 4DTV subscription ( if they continue them) Then go for the standard DMX741

The Ku side to is is standard 10750

The DMX741U is Universal Ku
9750/10600

Honestly I have both & I have found the DMX741U to be a little more forgiving on Ku how accurate I have to point.

C Band I have found no difference, but Ku, I prefer the DMX741U.

I would call in & ask Galaxy what they think as well.
