Message: Body:	With any dish, the best improvment you can ask for is a well tuned dish. Beyond that a lower degree lnb will have minimal change to your picture on a 12' dish compared to a 7.5' dish. Reason is a 12' dish collects more signal = better picure. A common misconception of lnb's is: people always go for the lowest # they can get their hands on. Which will make a difference, although the typ.db gain is more important as far as a clean picture is concerned. The common db gain for an lnb is 62-65. 65 of course being better. Lnb's however are the opposite, the lower the temp. rating the better. Norsat lnb's are better than Calamp. A big difference in your picture?? Probably not. Good luck (+_+) Preston

Message: Body:	When I got my receiver last year , I had a 35 degree lnb I was told that I needed a lower degree one to be able to get all the digital channels. So I bought a lower degree one cause I thought that it was supposed to be better. Well about a month after I got it, it quit working and I started to use my 35 degree one and wow, the picture was the same . I think I got taken for a ride. Kim
