Agikilis that dish cannot get fringe receptions but you can get irib by using scalar ring for c-band lnb.

agkilis:
my dish
looks the lnb is struggling to be at focal point..get a long neck lnb! performance of the dish..should be better than at least 3meter prime focus antenna!

sammu my believes is that sometimes if one can sit down and think very well about this costly ready made lnbs provide nothing but waste of money whereby our low cost lnbs can perform better than those costly lnbs but i did not said that we should not buy the costly lnbs .
Thanks to my good boy ESUO a well known member of this forum and also you can read more of this research on www.allsat-forum.com , But one thing about those low cost lnbs is that the lnb db should be 0.1,0.2,03 db or minimum is 0.1db for good result.

"if the lnb specification is correct,conversion gain of an lnb is not negligible" an lnb with 0.2db noise figure and conversion gain of 65db..will perform better than an lnb with 0.2dB and gain of 55dB on fringe reception! where noise figure is not always correct and it is variable on some frequencies!

@ Twinsoris, how can you say that my 2.4m offset dish (thats the first dish in the picture i posted)cant get fringe signal, or are you now saying that a 2.4m pan dish is better than a 2.4m offset fiber dish ?
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Twinsoris(m): 2:11pm On Apr 27, 2015

"A long neck lnb will do the job to have more room for adjustments"the offset dish focal length is suspicious..but inverto twin offset is good on high band frequencies!

OK..I will locate the lnb at shop..let's find out how poor the performance is..expect report by 2morrow..

agkilis:
my dish 2.4m offset
If and only if you know how to modify the focal length of that dish...you will really gain more signal percent.



Is there anybody in the house from the East that want to dispose his/her old 2.4m fiber dish? I have interest to buy it. Only the reflector.

For a start,
Your location, where do you intend to buy the materials, have you done any installation on 60 or 90cm dishes before, is dis your 1st BUD installation.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by agkilis: 4:33pm On Apr 27, 2015

@ agkilis,
I want to believe your focal point is the problem. "Play" around tweking and adjusting lnb's your might jst get sometin beTter.
