I bought my Norsat 8115 here for much less.

By the way if your problem is not enough signal then this won't help, the main advantage is they are extremely stable.

If the Local oscillator drifts it could cause your quality numbers to fluctuate
or you could have dropouts. I went from a cheaper LNB that was supposed to be good for digital and it would drift like crazy in the summer so I switched to the Norsat 8115 and my signal strength went down but my quality numbers are about the same I think the gain was 65db on the cheap one and 60db on the Norsat but the with the Norsat I don't have any problems with dropouts and stuttering like I did with the cheap LNB.
