Dear all

I'm upgrading my sky zone 1 minidish single LNB to a twin LNB - may as well - I've got a Vu+ Duo and really ought to make the most of it!

I'm torn between two from the sponsors site:

1) Inverto Black Premium 0.2dB Twin Output LNB £13.95
2)Technomate TM-2 Super High Gain Gold 0.1dB Twin LNB HD Ready £19.95

Any advice which might suit. Signal strengths are indifferent and occasionaly disrupted due to trees in a nearby churchyard. I've moved my dish a couple of years ago and that greatly improved things and I don't think I can get a much better placement than current position.

So really is there anything to be gained by having the Inverto over the Technomate and vice versa.

I presume I'll need a mount adaptor for the minidish too - i.e. the TRIAX 40mm LNB Holder Kit With Adaptor for Elliptical Dish

To fit either of those to a Sky Zone 1 dish you will need an adapter http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/LNB/Technomate-LNB/TRIAX-40mm-LNB-Holder-Kit-With-Adaptor-for-Elliptical-Dish

Personally id change the dish for a larger Zone 2 dish that comes with a quad LNB, will be more than sufficient for 28.2 deg http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Satallite-Dishes/Sky-Zone1-and-Zone2-dishes/Sky-Zone2-63cm-Mesh-Dish-with-QUAD-LNB
