Best Ku Lnb/f I used is Invacom, 0.2 K.
You can't go past Invacom.
Some says Fuji,I'm about to test it too soon with .2 K.

Deat mate,
can you please be more specific about the itmes, the mentioned dish was initially used for C-band and now i am using it for KU band using the normal offset dish LNB...
it is not giving me good results at all?!

Do not use the normal offset Ku lnb/f for a prime focus,you will not get good result. (this is because the offset lnbf is designed to only picking up 3/4 of the surface of the offset dish-This is why it's called "Offset",The Prime Focus Lnb/F is designed to pick up 100% of surface area of prime focus dish.)

I use the Invacom universal C120 for my 1.2metre solid dish with excellent signal quality for satellites here in Australia.

Dear Aldeto,
I am currently in Nigeria, Africa, and it is impossible to get anything from here...my only way is to get it from the US, where i have one friend living in there and he is coming to Nigeria within 3 weeks, i don't know if you can lead me to one of any forum's trusted sponsors in the US, who has my requested LNB..
Again thanks in advance..
