Is there any knowledgeable 'techie' who could recommend a "True" 0.3db LNB for an Elliptical Dish.

The very helpful technical people at Maxivew have suggested that this might improve our signal in Europe using their Omnisat 66 Dish. Unfortunately they don't supply one at the moment.

Non techie replies please as I don't really understand it all...

Thanks for any help

It's the standard LNB that is supplied with the Omnisat 66cms elliptical dish. I have no idea of the specification though.

thanks jaybee :)

i'm a newb. here but am looking forward to my first trip on Sat in my first tent.

However, I do have a bit more experience with sats :)

if you need more signal - you need a bigger dish.......

if you are interested in Astra 2D (BBC, ITV and Sky), then the beam is quite tightly focused on the UK, but N France should be OK:

Thats's exactly what we're after.Once we ge tto Spain for the winter we are hooking up to some massive dish on site and know thats OK. This year we have taken the plunge and are letting the house so weill be leaving in August and are taking a couple of months to travel down... Without TV we'ld have to talk to each other..... and that would never do...
