Golden Media Universal Twin LNB High Gain 0,1dB 4K 3D Yellow Cap

Super High Gain not exaggerated signals has been the winner of all Universal KU Band LNB's i tested , even holds a lock much better on really weak signals than Inverto Black Ultra without pixelation.
i know you had a single LNB but really worth getting this twin version it will beat any other LNB you can find :thum:

I can confirm that lnb golden media 202+ its the best tested by me, thanks barney its totally like you say signal increase 2-3 db even defeat the invacom.
The picture quality its superior, better than inverto IBU,invacom, maclean, thebestgermany.



Can we get your new experiences?
How does it work in extremely hot weather?
How is locked in feeds?
Which is better if you compare it with inverto black ultra?
I will be glad if you share a detailed review and picture
:thum:

Also would the OP not get better signals if he used the correct feedhorn for his dish with a c120 lnb

Reason I am asking is I am using the feedhorns that matched my dishes 1.5m gibby and 1.2m channel master

Are you saying this all in one lnb will out perform a matched feedhorn?

If that is the case I will upgrade my lnb's

On my 1.2m channel master I had the (correct version) original channel master feedhorn for some years. It worked ok, in general I got most things I should for a CM 1.2M dish in my location.

Six years ago I got the Inverto Black Ultra and it performed better than the feedhorn + C120 LNB combination, and that is what I use now. I have not bothered testing anything else since.

Feedhorn + C120 LNB combination works very good for prime focus dishes not so well for offset dish .
Inverto Black Ultra struggles for locking a lot of feeds its just not consistent enough , the Golden media tested on my 1.2m channel master offset works much better and does not drop the signal the inverto shows great signal when testing actual channels but for feeds Golden Media Twin i found to be the best for locking feeds even very weak feeds .
some dishes might react very different depending on how well aligned they are to begin with if the dish is not tracking well you can not expect to see miracles regardless of what LNB you try .

best example i can possibly make is a simple Test on my 1.2 meter channel master dish ,
very easy Test WITH A 24/7 Active Feed ,
##Example##
7°East
11054 H 4937
EBU NEWS FEED

Golden Media Twin LNB
LOCKED 34% Quality and Picture running perfectly non-stop



Inverto Black Ultra LNB
Trying to lock but 28% Signal enough of a drop that there even is no picture anymore if it does come a pic its pixelated and not watchable :mecry:


That is just my review and quick test i done tonight
with my 1.2 meter channel master dish ,
now you can see why i can only use the Golden Media LNB ,
using a Feedhorn indeed is still okay i will lock and Still get pictures but not quite as good signal with just using the GOLDEN Media Twin LNB
it does not take a total genius to figure out which LNB is better for Feed Hunting and maintain a lock and picture on weak signals : )

And yes i did my upmost best to Skew the Inverto LNB to try maximize my Signals believe me it was damn hard work to even get the Inverto black ultra to even show up any signal at all on that EBU News feed :eek:

over the last few weeks i have been doing a comparison between my octagon sf8008 and the VU ultimo blind scanning feeds off the same channel master 1.2m
As far the the 2 tuners go, i have to say the VU tuner is far better, even though it lacks DVBSX - im hardly ever looking for any DVBSX feeds am i.....I have tried various LNB's from technomate - golden media - and various Inverto's
In the end i settled on Inverto Essential Black Single Satellite LNB 4G / LTE DVB-S2 as being the best overall LNB for best signal in good weather (i am not out there pissing about in the rain lol )
The Essential Black LNB has these specs:

Code:
This black INVERTO 'Essential' single LNB is specifically designed to address the demand of the global DTH market for a competitive and 4G/LTE protected solution. This LNB provides optimized reception capabilities using the latest technology in satellite reception. It enables the reception of satellite TV from a single satellite and its distribution to a single tuner Set-top box. The LNB supports both Standard and High Definition transmissions, delivers excellent RF performances, very low power consumption and importantly engineered to mitigate interferences from 4G/LTE transmissions. Manufactured to the highest industry quality standards and engineered to meet strict specifications, this LNB is an ideal solution for DTH operators and satellite broadcast reception across the world.

Low Phase Noise, DVB-S2 (HDTV) compliant
Low Noise Figure
Low Power Consumption
High Cross Polarization Isolation
High Frequency Stability
Greater immunity against 4G interferences
Ultra HD compatible

I am also pretty sure it was the cheapest LNB i purchased (i had the TM lnb from years ago and dont remember what it cost)

The news feed posted about earlier has never been an issue for me though.....



But i did have issue with the West Ham - Everton game on 7e last night with picture breakup...weather was not great though...
It may be a good idea to post real time feeds and problems for a comparison between us using similar equipment....
But i am pretty sure the VU+ reported signal DB figures are a little on the conservative side:D

I have Channel Master 1.0 m with GI-211 UNIVERSAL SINGLE LNB. This LNB is very good for weak signals, especially for feeds.

A quick test tonight Badr-4 @ 26°east with OP Gibertini 100 XP With TM5502HD.

90% of signal quality over 70% all Lnb's all transponders,

Except 12073 H 27500 BBC World News HD :eek:

Inverto Black Ultra = 72% SQ
Inverto PLL ========= No Signal
Golden Media GM201+== No Signal

Weather permitting I will test all 3 over the satellite arc,

Looks like the Inverto Black Ultra has no competition atm :thum:

The Inverto PLL needs to be nearer to the dish so I may have to saw a few inches off the Lnb arm ?
I improved the 201+ readings by pushing the Lnb forward as far as it will go then the rain came so Test halted for now but it looked as good as the IBU at the start.
