LNBs. Slightly OT.

[Peter + Jane <pandj.munnoch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
I have a Humax twin tuner PVR Freesat box.
I feed it from a 60 cm mesh dish fitted with an=20
Icecrypt twin lnb of allegedly 60 dB /  0.1dB.
Dish and lnb cost =A335 ish 3 years ago.
Dish has clear view of the sky.
Alignment using a camping sat receiver with a=20
beeb tone alignment aid so pretty good.
Mounting is rigid.
Location Isle of Wight (so not exactly far north!)

Signal on some of the satellite channels is prone to mosaicing and drop
out=
.
Worse in wet weather.
Never seen the last bar on the signal strength indicator of one feed.

So I thought I'd buy a "quality" lnb. Known make, decent spec.
Trouble is there are loads of brands, loads of specs.

At last the question(s)
1. Are Icecrypt any good, in the experience of list members?
2. Has anyone got a recommendation for a GOOD twin lnb, (please!)?

Thanks
Peter
