What LNB to buy?

I was looking on eBay and saw a few different types of LNB's for sale. DMS International, Apatchi Star, and a Titanium. I have a Titanium one on my cabin dish and it works great. I need one for my setup at home. Should I still with the Titanium one?

What satellites are you going to be looking at???

Linear?? (97W)
Circular??(Dish/Bell)
"C" band??

OOPS! I guess I should have stated what I'm using it for. I want to use it on a 6' fiberglass dish for c-band.

"C" band...I would go bigger then a 6 footer, less fade problems.

And I would go with the Titanium..

Thanks. That's the one I have at the lake and it works great. I'm only using it for G14, SES1 AND SES3. My footprint should be good for those satellites.

I bought another Titanium. I've had good luck with the one at the lake.

You can check that at satbeams.com, it has footprints for those satellites, and they are active footprint maps, all you do is select the satellite and beam your looking for, then zoom into your location and click on it, this will give you the estimated dish size needed for that beam for error free reception.

Here is the "C" band one for SES-1.
