Inverto ultra would be the best according to the guys!
Think you can get a single one on amazon for ?6.99 + 2.50 p&p...
Google it!
Joe...
Yes Inverto Ultra is the best for signal gain but you will not get one for ?6.99, the one on amazon for ?6.99 is an inverto eco which is the cheapest one they make.
Darkgold lnb 0.1db is very good
Yes consider a dark lnb performs really well, depends on you dish tbh to get full illumination.

My mistake! Thanks for the correction :)
Tried dark gold very unimpressed, they do not even quote any proper specs for it like gain etc
Inverto Ultra Black is a very impressive lnb for its price (?15 - ?20 ish)
Ok, it's noise fig is 0.2 db but look at its gain. It really made a difference on my weaker channels:-
High gain (60dB), low noise (0.2dB) universal single LNB. Ideal for areas of poor reception.
* Excellent Isolation – extremely high cross-pol performance
* Very Low Spurious Levels
* Superior Noise Figure (0.2dB typ)
* Higher Conversion Gain (60 dB min.)
* Ultimate Reliability
* Low Band Input Frequency Range: 10.7~11.7 GHz, Low Band Output Frequency Range: 950~1950 MH, LO Frequency: 9.75 GHz
* High Band Input Frequency Range: 11.7~12.75 GHz, High Band Output Frequency Range: 1100~2150 MHz LO Frequency: 10.6 GHz
* LO Phase Noise @ 10K Hz -90 dBc/Hz max.
* Cross Talk: 23 dB min.
* DC Power: 120 mA max. @ 11 – 20V
* Working Temperature -30~+60 ?C
* Output Impedance (connect to STB) 75 O
* Output connector F-type (female)
So basically i've a 90cm dish.. It only barely gets a squeak of 0.8 w and 16 east now with a bog standard lidl lnb!
If i go for one of these it will increase my signal gain a small bit?
If you note the gain figure is a minimum on Inverto Ultra so expect to get better gain than that .
A lot of manufacturers quote Typical Gain which is an average so is deceiving.
Inverto Ultra has a range of 60dB min to 72dB max depending on frequency
Do not forget every 3dB is a double in signal power

It would be well worth the investment, it's made a big difference to my 16 E.
Another item added to the cart! hahaha...
Dream, do you get much on 26e? I can get 110 channels but not the ones I want. I wonder if this LNB will pick them up.
What size dish ddaddy and rough location?
90cm North West. Totally outside footprint I think, but can pickup a few channels.
I get 224 ( not scanned recently) on 26e with a 1m in the north midlands with a dark lnb.
Nice.
I'll be getting one anyway as I need to get a quad. If I can get the HD footie on 26e it'll be a big bonus :-)
Also look at skew may get you a % or 2 and also lnb distance in holder can also help.
Yes I think I might get the Inverto ultra, anyone know if satboxes.com can get them.
I would rather give my money to our sponsor.
Gaz
I have had dark gold for over a year now and still not had better signal strength than i had expected.
