Any lnb test reviews lately?

william-1 said:
Yes I have for feeds the Black Ultra is best especially for weak signals,
For DTH broadcasts the pll was better as it did not overload on very strong transponders unlike the IBU.

Grateful for this info. Extremely helpful.
 
@william-1 and anyone else with some results. Do we know which of the golden media lnbf is best for weak DTH signals and is anything else beating it?

[OP Gibertini 100 XP Lnb Arm reduced in length by 23mm for test-2**& all proceeding Lnb tests]

At least the Inverto Black Ultra is in a more normal position & not fully forward in the Lnb holder,
Tests with Golden Media 201+ & Inverto PLL improved signals where there was none with the reduced length Lnb arm.
All 3 Lnb's performed very well some variations in readings are probably due to weather conditions.

Willam-1, need help here. I see three lnbs are up for testing but in most cases I see four results and don't know what lnb the fourth reading is for.

[Last test with TM6902HD OP Gibertini 100 XP + Inverto PLL the SQ is lower but just as strong a signal & is a more realistic
scale than the SX88 series.]

Self explanatory this list includes strongest & weakest transponders.
 
Good job William, I know it takes a lot of time but it's too bad your results are not mentioned in dB !! ^_^

I no longer have a working receiver that uses dB.

Just Octagon SX series & a couple of old Technomates.
 
I have a TM5402HD M3 & a F/3/5 that need a bit of work with a soldering iron to fix some dry joints,
They both show signals in dB also the data base is about 6 years out of date,

Work in progress.:eek:

Thanks. Will have a second look
 
makes you wonder how it differs from the SF8008 or SF8008 mini....they can both dual boot to either OS , i.e DEFINE OS, or E2, (4 slots in fact) - why did they bother making it after the SX88 (non E2) when the former STB's were out and doing well.

I would suspect the cost of manufacture would be key, in a similar vein to the demise of the SF4008 (and the SF918HD before it).

Both have a feel of real quality about them that the 8000 series is missing, the SX88 looks to be of similar build.

The SX88 V2 Dual Os is comparable to the SF8008m (Mini) but has only one DVB-S2 tuner :D

Anyone of you compared the old model with new model ?

Old model: Inverto Ultra Black - IDLB-QUDL40-ULTRA-OPP
New model: Inverto Ultra Black - IDLT-QDL412-ULTRA-OPNB ( PLL )

Is the new model from 2022 so much better ?
I am using old model atm for feeds.

Is PLL better for feeds ? or only for "programs" ?

New version difference:
Conversion gain+10 dB more as old model
Image rejection+10 dB more as old model
LO temperature drift- 1.0 MHz less than old model
