LNB Quick one...

[GreGorGy]

So I am busy relocating and the plastic "cap" (the white part that faces the dish) on my LNB was quite brittle and did not survive a minor collision with a less-than-forgiving wall.

So without this cap, is it broken? Am I SOL?

It will probably get broken when it rains.

Even if it still works, I would replace it if it happened to me.

When water goes inside, it will be dead... If you can seal it, you can probably save it. New ones are cheap though.

Ditto - except I am not quite prepared to commit more money to monochoice if a real competitor is around the corner, hence my interest in "limping" the last 10 yards.

Thanks all for info - guy at MC centre agrees.

Dude - all I did was pull cling film over my LNB opening - 100% for over a year

How much ?

How much ?

Retail for single LNB should be around R199ex VAT...

I bought a dual LNB from this oke - I see the single ones are seriously cheap (R69). Good service as well!
