The most popular question I get is which is better, a bullet shape LNB or conventional LNBF. So I decide to compared the two LNBF's. I compared the GeoSat pro SL-1 Bullet (this is the only bullet LNBF that I know about) and a conventional linear LNBF. I will provably do a video on this topic in the future, but for now here are the findings of my test. I compared the DMX-521 LNBF 70 db gain typical, L.O. Freq 10750 and the GeoSat pro SL-1 LNBF 55db gain typical, L.O. Freq 10750. Right of the get go, the conventional design proved to have better gain (22% difference) just because of the extra capturing surface in front of the LNB? How do I know that? Well, I made a cup shape with my hand in front of the Geosat lnb and my db gain went up 6 db's. I went a step further and took aluminum foil and made a funnel (cone shape) that emulated the conventional LNB design (to be fair) and placed it in front of the geosat LNB. This produced a 12 db gain. That would take the Geos...

Installation of an FTA satellite dish is very easy IF you know what you are doing. It is also helpful to know a few good tricks to assembling a satellite dish. One of my favorite satellite dishes right now happens to be the Hotdish 90 . What do I like about the dish? Well, the dish has a higher gain (signal strength) than most dishes and it is packaged in a nice box with a Styrofoam shaped container to keep the dish straight. Another feature that I like is that this dish is durable (it doesn’t warp easy and it doesn’t come out of the box warped) and its mounting brackets help you to acquire the highest gain possible. The Hotdish 90 works great with any FTA receiver or pay receivers. You can also use a dual LNB setup for 4 degree spacing between satellites and of course you can also use a rotation device if you wish.
