Looking for Freesat LNB in France

The Metronic 120cm one from Amazon, but it doesn’t appear to be listed anymore.

It’s on the be, de and ie sites but not the French one. It seems very cheap.

@NotALot

small clamp assembly attached to the dish by 3 metal rods.

All the pictures online show an arm rather than the rods which is strange. They’re much more stable than an arm but I think the Cahors type with arm and rods is better.

@NotALot

LNB has shorter than normal “neck” between the horn and the main LNB body.

Just looked at that and it’s incredibly short which is crazy.

I think I’ll go for the Cahors as it’s an SMC dish so should last forever and has less chance of deformation.

The main problem I have found when replacing an lnb is the physical mounting. Some dish arms are tubular, some are rectangular section and the clamp has to be the correct diameter.
My current Sky-type lnb is wedged in place with 2 wooden clothes pegs. Hi-tec, me.
I think sat tv will no longer be operating within a decade.

Mine has a cable tie for a clamp.

It’s an angle thing for me.
