go for invacom lnb because invacom perform better on pan dish.
for fibre, you cannot beat fuji. invacom has an edge mostly for pan dishes.
For my setup, i modified my lnb with an inclusion of a bigger feed horn as as to facility full illumination of the whole dish.
By this i mean If an LNB feed is not a perfect match, like a standard 40mm clamp LNB, it may illuminate (say) 2.5m
of a 2.2m dish. (less signal) OR, It may (try to) illuminate 2.6m of dish. This will cause infrared
(noise) to be picked up round the edges. The result is a poor signal to noise ratio. (poor picture)
With this in mind, i tested a couple of lnb's and the winner was Inverto sliver tech quad lnd followed by Eurostar quad and last but not lest Inverto ultra black quad lnb.
My modified lnb,

How to connect your strong SRT to your computer
Connecting your srt4669z to the internet using your laptop.
REQUIREMENTS
1rj45(lan cable) for the Ethernet port
2.Laptop(with vista or window7 OS).
3.virus free flash drive (must be plugged in to the front of your decoder)
4.Usb modem (better if it is broadband)
5.Srt4669z firmware version 105p
PROCEDURE:
1.Plug in your internet modem and connect to the net;
2.click Mozilla Firefox or explorer to test that the internet network is o.k or browsing.Now exit Mozilla or explorer.
3.Plug one end of the rj45 cable (at the back or where ever it is located on your laptop) to the Ethernet port.
4.Plug the other end to the Ethernet port at the back of srt4669z decoder an notice a momentarily flash display of yellow& green light
Take note: The pin end must be turn upside down when plugging it to the decoder!
5.Hold your remote control and go to Menu->System settings->I.P settings on your decoder and you will see the following:
DHCP Usage: "ON"
IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway 0.0.0.0
Mac Address: 00.xxx ( you will meet some alpha-numeric numbers there)
6.Now on your remote press the red(recall) button and wait.After some time, the decoder should automatically obtain I.P settings for you i.e fill in the numbers for you.But if that does not work for you, i.e if you wait long enough and it does not fill it for you, then do this:
DHCP Usage: sett it to "OFF"
IP Address: put 192.168.137.80
Subnet Mask: put 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.137.1
DNS: 192.168.137.1
Mac Address: don't touch
Then exit and save.
After all this you can now go to main menu, go to storage, internet radio, select genres and press the red button on your remote to update list and play internet radio or go to online service in City type Lagos and press O.k to receive weather or scroll to map and get map of Lagos.
You can also go to main menu->Entertainment->Hardstation1 press O.k, wait you will see 'connect server, ' and it will load Adult content for you to enjoy.You can try YOUTUBE station too.Thanks.

****this tuturial is for Educational purpose alone ****
seeing how CS on strong 4669 series decoder is now the main thing,, i have gotten a lot of calls from people on how they can use it and so on.
here's simple how to on what u need to do:
you need to have the following:
1. a strong 4669x, XII, or Z, 4669z is best because it saves you the trouble of looking for or making a serial to RJ45 adapter or a serial to rj45 cross over adapter if you do not have a router, hub or switch. those with the other decoder tyes might need to look for firware that allows them IP settingon their decoder.
2, internet connection: with any of the networks you can get cheap internet for as low as 1000-/month for glo or mtn which are the most reliable.
buy a 3g Modem and and activate the sim card, load 1000 naira and,
MTN: text 106 to 131 to get 100mb/month
GLO text 13 to 127 to get 150mb/month
starcomms, Multilinks and Swift all have flexible package you can also subscribe to.
* by now any serious satellite hobbyist that does not have a working internet plan is just fooling arround. U need internet now, just like you need Air or water on a daily basis.
3,Router is best, save you a lot of wahala but they are not cheap, the cheapest will set you back like 8k plus. if you don't have the cash you can turn your system to a router, but this means that your internet will always be on anytime u want to watch something interesting that is not FTA.
4. a working cline. or just google some free clines. by now there are a lot free clines that will open JSC sport, NOva, ART, PHELA, BADR, SKY Italy etcc and they usual work for like 24hrs. they are excellent for testing. but if you need to really use CLine, u need to get a commercial one that will give yoour heart peace.
5. a very good TV. CRT is old school, FLAT screen is better but if you really need to enjoy it u need a plasma, LCdor LED or 3D tv set.
now let move on:
THOSE WITHOUT ROUTERS, SWITCH OR HUB
fist thing u need to understand is that for your system to share internet with your decoder u need a crossover cable. to eliminate this u need a hub or switch in between and then a regular patch cable.
cross over cable ares easy to make, just get a crimping tool and then switcrh the position of the orange and green pairs and you are set. the only snag in using a crossover cable is that you need to give you box a satic IP address because it will be hard to run DHCP when doing internet connection sharing over a crossover cable. go to the IP setting of your strong decoder and give it a static IP address, something like 192.168.0.23, then subnet 255.255.255.0 and then gateway 192.168.0.1. on your system give your LAN card the IP address 192.168.0.1, subnet 255.255.255. then right click on your internet connection click on the saring tab and let your Local area connection be the source for the sharing., click save and then connect both the BOx and the computer with the cable and then connect your internet.
if everything goes well with a good cline, you shold be screaming eureka.
if not go back to each of the steps and see if there's something you missed. remember if you are using a serial to rj45 adapter and you do not have a router , hub or swwicth, u still need a crossover cable between your system and decoder.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD A ROUTER:
most routers comes with a web interface configuration and they are quite simple and straight forward. the IP address of the router are usual given at the back of the routers. for example http://192.168.0.1 will bring you to the web interface of the engenius router. once you log in, you can manually input the APN, username and password of the network you are trying to use, a 3G router usual have a USB interface at the back for plugin in your 3G routers, some other routers like the BIGPOUND have a sim slot where u just directly plug in a sim thereby nullifying the need for a modem.
once you have done the configuration, the ROuter will automatically connect to the internet and then you can plug in your network cable to connect your devices, the steps for using your strong decoder is the same as outlined before, the only advantage is that with a router the decoder has unlimited access to the internet and you do not need to be arround for anyone in your home to watch.
these things are actually easy to do and in case you run into problems, you have the almight google.com to help. I am available here for any question that you may have.
It's a whole new frontier now, don't be left out!

HOW TO TRACK NILESAT (in ACCRA)
Things you need to have
1. A c-band lnbf
2. An analoge satellite decoder (preferably the old Strong Satellite Receiver models)
3. A monitor or television set
4. A prime focus Ku lnb (Eurovision, Star Gold Fuji, Fuji Silver and Just recently Strong Prime)
5. A minimum of 2.5m solid dish or a 3.0m mesh dish
6. A good quality coaxial cable
7. A lot of patience and time
Introduction and what you must know
The most important thing you have to set up is your base. For most c-band dishes, they already come with the option of setting them up for either fixed mounts or polar mounts. If you use the fixed mount setup as your base and try to track this bird, you are in for a very long and strenuous ordeal.
This is because you won’t be able to adjust for the needed angle at the base for you to get your signal (This is the angle which is usually set for C-band dishes when we want to set them up as motorized BUD’s).
I don’t know if it has been done through that method (the fixed mount setup method) but for my almost a year of trying and failing, I can tell you from my point of view that it can’t be done. The best way is to set the dish at the base as if you are going to setup a motorized dish system (As in the second image above).
Setting up your base
There are two adjustable screws on your right in the second image above. The first is vertical and the second is horizontal. Adjust the vertical screw so that a level and equal amount of space can be noticed between that support and the dish itself. Then adjust the horizontal screw so that an angle of about 10-15 degree tilt can be noticed between the base and the support clamp (as in the second image above).By the way, the second image above was taken whiles I was facing West. This should give you an idea where the dish will tilt to.
Tracking Express AM44
First of all, take your prime focus Ku lnb off the dish if you have it on and replace it with the C-band lnb and lnbf. Turn your dish and make it face West if it’s not already facing there and begin tracking Express AM44. Use the frequency 3.663(H)/10.807 to track this bird. If you use other lnbs apart from Diplosat, you may have to change your polarity to (V) since most of the C-band lnbs on the market don’t separate polarities properly. After you pick this bird, tighten the base to fix the azimuth, make a mark on the pole at the base to indicate your reference point and then bring the dish down. (By this time you should be standing infront of the dish looking East with the dish facing West).
Tracking Nilesat
Take off your C-band lnb and replace it with your prime focus Ku lnb. You should remember to seat the Ku lnb so that it enters the feedhorn or prime focus Ku clamp halfway. You must also make sure the protruding end of your Prime Focus Ku lnb faces a direction either 3 o’clock to your right with reference to “By this time you should be standing infront of the dish looking East with the dish facing West” or 9 o’clock to your left.
Either way, your results won’t affect or cause changes in the polarity of your signal. Input 11.411(H)/27500 into your decoder.Then begin raising your dish up little by little. If you are lucky, you should pick Nilesat with no hustles at all on your first lift. If you don’t get the signal on your first run, slightly loosen the base. This should not be loosened too much. It should be just enough to help you make small adjustments in the azimuth. Now, move your dish to your right (here I am presuming you are standing infront of your dish with your face or you yourself facing East) with little increments. You first move the dish to your right and then slowly raise up your dish. Repeat the process of slowly moving your dish up and down and shifting it to your right if you aren’t getting any signals.NB:The shifting to the right along the azimuth should be between just 1cm. With God on your side, Nilesat should be in the palm of your hands.
Ps: The old analog decoder was used because it reacts quickly when you are getting closer to the signal.My signal strength is 53% in the day and 47% in the night.This should give you an idea when to start tracking.The entire process began around 11am sunday morning and ended around 5pm. I'm now going to find time to properly adjust the lnb with the help of the junction below which i left close to the dish.
I hope this write-up has been detailed enough to help you on your journey to tracking nilesat.Thanks for reading.
