Ok, so I have read a few posts regarding the Calamp lnb product, and it sounds like I can up my signals by switching to the WNC, or some other product.

I have had someone from directv out twice in the past few weeks to align my dish, and still cannot get any better than mostly 70's and some 80's on 99c and 103c. Sometimes a transponder will drop below the 70's. These signals are an improvement from where I was, but I just couldn't understand why I couldn't get the 80s and 90s that others were reporting on 99c and 103c. Now I know.

So my question is, what would be the best one to get? I hear a lot about WNC, is that the best?

different manufactorers of LNB are marginal at best on signal differences

WNC revision 1E, best one for signal imo, but also the most fragile

What does WNC stand for, if anything? I have an Eagle Aspen LNB.

Thanks

Cool thanks.

So I take it there are 3 makers of LNB's then, WNC, CalAmp, and Eagle Aspen?

Right, without the "s". Somebody did a test a while back on these. They were all very close, except for the Calamp, although the WNC was not the top performer. We're talking about just a couple of points on the top three, and only one unit from each manufacturer.
