Stay out of the LNB ! It's already optimized at the factory before it's shipped
to the dealer. Can you think of any reason why a device capable of more
performance would be adjusted for lessperformance by the manufacturer ?
I can't either.
The steps available to you to enhance satellite reception are ...
-- use a larger reflector (dish)
-- make sure the dish is accurately pointed toward the satellite
-- keep snow, ice, rain, leaves, tennis balls, and bird droppings out of the dish
-- make sure the polarization of the feed assembly is properly set
-- make sure that the aperture of the feed is located precisely at the focus of the dish. Items #2, #4, and #5 were the responsibility of the installer when he delivered
your system. Those guys work under incredible time pressure, with a quota of
installations to complete each day no matter what conditions they find, and
they're shamefully underpaid. It's not unthinkable that the installer might have
called it
totally optimized to the last tenth of a dB. Those fruits hang much lower than
the likelyhood of digging into the LNB and improving it. (Plus, when you give up,
you'll never get the weather gasket properly reseated, and it'll start taking in rain.)
