Well I thought my OP Gibertini 100 XP was better than some of the dishes I have tried over the years,

These included a 100cm Andrews & 100cm Orbital,

The Gibertini performed best over the 10.7 to 12.75 Ku band with a Smart Single Universal LNB Titanium Edition; 0.1 dB, Diameter 40 mm

That was a few years ago I have since tried several other Lnb's the best was the Inverto Black Ultra 0.2,
I took a photo of the Gibby with the IBU & the comments came back that I had the Lnb too far forward in the Lnb holder well it worked for me so I left it,

Then a few days ago some Lnb tests here with a couple of Lnb caught my eye so I tried them on the Gibby & they did not work very well ?

This was the Golden Media 201+ & the Inverto Premium PLL

So I thought back about the Lnb position & decided to saw 23mm off the end then bolt the Lnb holder back on well if it did not work I could always add the sawn bit back on ,

But to my astonishment the new Lnb's performed very well.

Signals that were not there before now boomed in,

I then put the Inverto black ultra back on but this time much further back in the Lnb holder & the signals were vastly improved also the rain fade was less as the Lnb was getting more signal in its new position on the shortened Lnb arm.

Has anyone tried the primesat dishes? Currently have the triax TD110 but it's old so considering replacing. Wondering if the Primesat 1.1 might yield better results?
