hi guys, yesterday it rained heavily in mombasa which offered me a chance to review the three lnb i have....namely Eurostar P8, Stargold fuji SG-920 and Inverto black pro
Eurostar P8
View attachment 245914
currently mounted on a 130cm offset dish, on Eutelsat 7E african beam. On a clear day, S-73%, Q-90%. Yesterday while it rained, S-66%, Q-90%...no signal fade noted at all. It was the only satellite I was able to watch yesterday
Inverto black pro
View attachment 245915
mounted on a 90cm offset dish on Amos 5. On a clear day, S-60%, Q-67%(despite all the tweaking this is the highest I could get). Yesterday while it rained S-50%, Q-32%....the channels were scratchy. Interesting it managed to display the channels at a Q-39% but as the rain increased the signal was lost.
Stargold fuji SG-920

mounted on 180cm pf on Nilesat 201. On a clear day S-87%, Q-93%. yesterday while it rained, it was the first to loose the signal. All the channels were unwatchable ie "no signal"
I acknowledge its not a fair comparison based on different dish sizes and different satellite nabbed but in my opinion the Eurostar P8 outperforms the others. I had to move the inverto from the 130cm dish as it was unable to lock the Eutelsat 7E signal. Th P8 managed quite easily......:yo:
I am having the same problem
I have a used HUMAX IR 1020 HD that I acquired from an expatriate who left the country last year.
It was formerly used as ADMC PayTV decoder for EPL and it still has its smart card.
It has no remote and I would like to know if I can get a spare remote in Kenya and at what cost.
I understand this model cannot record thru its USB port (PVR function).
Is there any software upgrade out there that can make it more user friendly like using PVR?
Pictorial evidence will be highly appreciated for learning purposes.
i did attach the feedhorn because the lnb cannot be attached to the offset lnb holder without the feedhorn. The p8 noise figure is 0.2 db so I guess that's why it has a superb performance...did u mount the inverto black on a feedhorn. Its supposed to attach to a feed horn which should correspond to the type of dish u r using. That's what those holes around the rim are for. Try that first to pass a fair judgement. But all in all eurostar lnbs with a noise figure of 0.3db or less are indeed very good.
Hi Nahdy, have not managed to hunt for it. Been busy....will try asap and reportaizen.. did u manage 16e? or were the stairs slippery!!.
pls update on result I've been trying today but in vain.
Ok. I am requesting for it

I cant quite find a post where someone explained how to end the picture freezing on some channels on Amos 5. Someone kindly guide me to the page or give me the solution. I appreciate

Hi Nahdy, from trying to nab eutelsat 16e...but failed miserably. I firstly nabbed Amos 5 @ 17e using my 130cm offset, then entered the tracking TP offered by Vicwa(10804H30000), but no matter what I did I couldn't convince the satmeter to lock on 16e. May the gurus assist ....Hi Nahdy, have not managed to hunt for it. Been busy....will try asap and report
finally managed to use two lnb's on on 90cm dish nilesat on one and 7a/astra 4a on the other

Samson lnb is not good for prime focus dish, especially if you want to use it at the focal position. Still, please provide us with a picture of that Eurostar lnb.
