Corotor vs Lnbf

[Costactc]

After years of using a wideband corotor with my 10' setup I decided to slap on an lnbf to see the difference. With the corotor I am pulling in all c band circular channels on the Atlantic sats however the feed is very expensive. I've also been having issues on many sats and channels that others have reported that I have no signal quality.
I replaced the feed with my dmx741 lnbf and poof, almost all tp scan in at 99% signal quality. No more duplicate polarity tp and a huge difference in quality. I am watching channels that I never knew existed and all circular c band channels are scanning in except for most channels on NSS 806 at 40.5w.
I guess I figured a $400 feed would outperform a $40 lnbf but I was wrong. The loss of channels at 40.5 is of little consequence to me because of all the new channels I'm scanning in now.
Just because it's more expensive doesn't always mean it's better.

I never ran my co-rotor II. I upgraded to a v-box and BSC621 from the outset (3 years ago).

I got curious and bought a DMX741-1 last week, but I don't see much difference.

All this cheap stuff from China is taking over the whole world!!!

Have a great day....

That’s really interesting Costa thanks for posting that.

I never realised what channels I wasn't pulling in Paul. I always thought I had the best feed, guess I was wrong.

Always wondered how much more I could get if I went with a wide band corotor. I guess you've answered that and saved me some $$. Thanks

No problemo EC, only sat I've lost channels is NSS806. I normally scan in about 100 open but only 8 now. Funny thing is that all other circular c band tp on other sats are scanning in without the use of the dialectric plate, they're scanning in on both polarities.
