To get the advantages of the four tuners within the new range of Freesat boxes you already know that a Wideband LNB is required, the downside of this is that the system will no longer be compatible with: In a C-band antenna setup, the transmission frequencies are typically 3.7–4.2GHz. By using a local oscillator frequency of 5.150GHz the IF will be 950–1,450MHz which is, again, in the receiver's IF tuning range.

This keeps the LNB cooler and results in less extreme temperature cycling. Temperature cycling should be kept to a minimum

An LNB can be either single (one output), Twin (two outputs), Quad (four outputs), Quatro (four outputs), or Octo (eight outputs).Some Sky digiboxes, however, do not have particularly sensitive tuners. Not a problem in the UK but Q. Can I use Sky+ with only one feed? Yes, but you’ll not be able to use the full service. You won’t be able to record one channel while watching another, and some programmes that you set to record will fail if they record using the second dish feed

That said, I do have some solutions to these problems, which I will go over in the next few sections. Solutions for TV/Sat Combiners: Inverto - IDLU-UWT110-CUO1O-32P -". www.inverto.tv.

Combiners only have one satellite input meaning that you can’t connect both horizontal and vertical polarised services. signal actually getting through, a bigger dish will collect more signal and compensate for the problem. A special type of LNB (not to be confused with Quad LNB) intended for use in a shared dish installation to deliver signals to any number of tuners. A quattro LNB has a single feedhorn and four outputs, which each supply just one of the K u sub-bands (low band/horizontal polarization, high band/vertical polarization, low/vertical and high/horizontal) to a multiswitch or an array of multiswitches, which then delivers to each connected tuner whichever sub-band is required by that tuner. [8]There are lots of different types of “universal LNB” and contrary to as it sounds not all LNB’s are universal with all satellite dishes. As many don’t fit, like universal LNB’s used for Sky and Freesat MK4 style satellite dishes have a 38mm collar and nearly all other satellites dishes use an LNB with a 40mm collar. While this is not the end of the world when fitting a 38mm collar to a satellite dish which accepts a 40mm collar as a couple of wraps can around the collar can be enough to build the gap and create a secure fixing so that the LNB skew can be set correctly. Trying to do this the other way around however will not work as an LNB with a 40mm collar will not fit a 38mm collar holder.

specialist well designed dish (not always true with smaller mass produced dishes). Webbed resin type plastic On the Costa Blanca an incorrectly skewed LNB can result in the loss of the weaker North beam frequency transponders on Astra 2A and Astra 2B. A well done installation will ensure that the LNB skew is correct so that the North beam channels are not loss or loss is kept to a minimum. As I have said earlier, poor signal strength or quality is the main reason why some DStv channels are not working on your decoder. In most cases, the culprit is a satellite dish that is slightly out of alignment. Remember, an LNB that is out of alignment can also cause this problem. The next generation Freesat boxes are finally here, as well as being 4K compatible they are also advertising the ability to record 4 satellite channels at the same time, whereas previous generation Freesat boxes could only record up to two with separate satellite LNB connections required for each viewed/ recorded channel. At the time of writing this I actually have no hands on experience with the next generation UHD Freesat boxes, but I am writing this article early as there is so little technical information of the internet about them, some questions I haven’t been able to answer at this time but I have sent direct questions to Freesat which I am hoping that they will answer promptly. Assuming we’re talking about Sky or Freesat, then the common types are single, dual, quad or octo Universal LNBs.

LNB Outputs

See our Satellite Cable for good digital cable. Also see Twin satellite Cable See 4 LNB cable below. Octo LNB’s as I’m sure that you can guess have eight separate outputs allowing for eight coaxial cables to be connected and feeding up to 8 separate satellite receivers, four PVR’s or a combination of both. If you need more connections off a single satellite dish, unfortunately there are not any freely available LNB’s that allow for more connections. Instead a new approach must be adopted. This is the installation of a Quattro LNB, which is very different to a Quad LNB and a multi-switch amplifier. See our previous blog on how many TV's can be fed off one dish. Although a Quattro and Quad LNB both have 4 outputs, a Quattro LNB differs in the sense that it supplies the four satellite bands separately over the four cables whereas a Quad LNB switches between them all of all the cables.This means that when installing a Quattro LNB, it can’t be connected directly to a satellite receiver. It must be connected to a multi-switch amplifier with separate VL, VH, HL and HH inputs where the switching instead takes place and the cables must not be mixed from the LNB and the input of the amplifier. By using this concept only four cables need to be installed between the satellite dish and multi-switch amplifier concept can be extended to serve hundreds of satellite TV points.
