Life Expectancy of a Ku-LNB

Does anyone know how long a LNB generally lasts? I have a KU-LNB for over 2
years now, and I think my signal quality is suffering due to it's age. Am I
correct?

thanks in advance

I don't know if their is a "general lifespan" involved with Ku-Band
LNB's........I have had my .6dB Ku-Band LNB manufactured by Cal-Amp
(California Amplifier) since 1988 (16 years) and it still works great.I
think as long as you shield it from the elements and keep it dry it
should work a long time.

You bought a .6db in 1988?? You must have paid an arm and a leg for that
back then. lol
