    Default How bad are KU Zinwell LNB's?

    Hi everybody,

    I had noticed that the level on Intelsat 19 had dropped from 80 down to 73% on the signal quality of Intelsat 19 on my satellite dish so I thought I would get a new LNB just to see if the old LNB was failing a tad!

    I was a bit reluctant to go with a Zinwell. Anyway I connected up a Zinwell Model: ZKF - CJ21 Universal LNB this evening and found the signal level to be 41% with no signal quality. My other LNB shows 69% signal level and 73% signal quality.

    Can anybody shed any light on the quality of the product. Obviously I have a dud LNB.

    Thanks.

    Put one of those Blue Acer Lnbfs that Tarbs use in their dish in the early days, they give the maximum Signal quality ,or those Sharp 10.700 lnbf's..
