thats the single.
Stay away from Vix and use openatv with the metric HD skin. I scanned 16e just now and got 723 channels and I use Al Jazerra hd balkans as its free to air.

I installed vix 6.3, (I also downloaded version 6.2 from the site. zip inserted in the usb did not see version 6.2) I did not download plugins and nothing, I scanned the channels and found 739 channels.
The twin version of those inverto lnb's is slightly better for weak signals, than the single, at least it is for me when testing on my 120 dish.
The reported SNR levels on e2 STB's are not accurate and vary drastically from one STB to another.
Don't expect to get the same SNR levels as other users, only if you used the same STB / firmware and were in the same location would that be of any real help.

so I recommend to take LNB two users, even if it will be only one user?

yes, also should you ever decide to add a 2nd cable to your setup then lnb is ready for it.
Blank off the unused port to keep the water out
Ok I checked those signal readings and those are very good from where you are with an 80CM dish. So you have set up correctly. When you check a signal always look at polarisation i.e is it H or V.
With openatv 6.4 I get similar readings but small reduction about 7-9%.
You did not say make of dish but if you are keen to do better then a 1metre gilbertini is the best option, its aluminium so light but easy to dent.

I'm currently using a 100 dish (emme esse), I haven't mounted the 80 dish yet
correct link for blanking off used ports.
Thank you so much
I use a 80cm Technomate dish and a quad TM-4.
How do those LNB's mention above compare?
If I'm already getting everything should I even consider replacing mine?
Good to know that anything above 60 is considered good. I thought it was strange that even my fixed sky mini dish was between 60 and 80%.

The SNR numbers on the screen mean little in reality , the ability to lock on a transponder that you would normally not be able to is what counts.
I had a TM single on my 80cm cheapo dish and that worked great, last year i fitted this:
Purely for Ssport @42east, the new LNB improved reception on cloudy days where the old TM left it unwatchable on some days.
Gains are minimal, but matter with hard to get channels.
Nothing beats a bigger dish though, there is currently a free 1.8m dish on another site that i would love, however i am 100% sure the wife would leave.
Im getting my coat.
OK so if I'm not having any problems then there's no point. S Sport on 42E was fine for me.
There are a few packages past 42E that I cant open but I think that's a server problem. I'm not even sure they can all be shared.
For example there are the Setanta sports channels on 52E that occasionally open, but not always and never reliably.
1.8m seems a bit excessive? Would that allow you to magically receive stuff that you are not even in the footprint of, like African stuff?
No, if not in the footprint forget about it, there is some stuff on C band i would like to have a play with, really you need a 3m plus dish for that.
i did read about a German bloke that lived in Brazil and built a 20meter concrete dish so he could get German TV... there was pictures of said dish.... if he actually got reception or not is debatable......
Attached is a pic from a guy making his own 5m dish in Nigeria, the concrete in this case is a mould to eventually make a fibreglass dish.
By the shape i assume C band as well.

That's insane. I would have thought they had to be quite precise. I guess after a certain point it doesn't really matter anymore.
Don't change from your 100cm to the 80cm. Your 100cm is aluminium and with sat signals bigger is always better. I get a far better signal on my VU +DUO2 than on a zgemma h7s so receiver is important as well.

Ok thank you
I repositioned the dish, currently I have a signal from 30 east to 30 west, total signal around 60/80%. is this normal? or the signal must exceed 80 for all satellites?.
by inserting this lnb will I notice a significant improvement in the satellites or will the improvement be little?
60-80% is what I have. If it works, then it works, numbers do not matter. Someone mentioned earlier that anything above 60 is good.
You can only go to 30E because of obstruction?

in what sense due to obstruction? Are you referring to obstacles? (houses, trees, other) ?
there are no oscules for viewing.
It seems strange that you can only get to 30E. I get much more. I would have thought someone in Italy would get much more than me?
