    Default C Band Lnb w 5G Filter $600

    Is Jims antenna telling people porky pies or just plan ripoffs saying C Band LNB with 5G filter cost around $600



    I was thinking of getting a c-band dish, people are giving them away, but now am worried 5G will kill it for C-Band.

    Can you make a 5G filter?

    Cost seems low on ebay for lnb w 5G filter, what are there monkeys selling...

    Grant

    (btw I know this is probably old news but for me, am just learning about now.)

    The info in that link refers to the cost of $600 being "far too expensive for most households" which suggests they are referring to commercial-quality LNB's of which the pricing would be correct.

    The subject has been covered previously in other threads.

    Thanks. I will look deeper when I have more time and when my eyes don’t hurt or brain.
    Im in overload at the moment. I don’t have a c band dish but would like one in the future.
    Someone suggested since I rent to put it on wheels and play with it that way.
    I went to pick one up from someone on gumtree and ran when I saw the size of it.

    I think they thought I had a truck or something.
    I know nothing about them.
    I see some have very thin mesh and seem prone to damage.
    The motor or actuator looks nothing like my diseqc motor. Another thing I have to read up on.

    Sorry to rattle on.

    Btw MTV I set my settings to email me if someone responded to a thread I made. Is it working?
    I don’t get emails or even spam from here

    Your settings currently show you have "Automatic Thread Subscription Mode" set to "Do not subscribe".

    And...that's the setting I'm talking about.

    You currently have it set to NOT receive any notifications.... "Do not subscribe"..... so you won't get any until you change it.

    When you are used to c as opposed to ku the sizes multiply by almost 5x so a 3mtr dish is normal on c band . The dish on my avatar is 4.5 meters , I wish it was bigger ?so dont run away cos thats part of the fun lol , mtv seems to be about 3.5meters seem to be plenty of info about them here so go for it ?
