Product Information

The total signal level is shown on a satellite meter and is NOT relevant. Meters do NOT measure the of standard wall mounts. The only real advantage of a Sky mini dish is it tends to be cheaper than a standard dish. Sky twin - two outputs, quad - 4 outputs and Octo - 8 outputs. All outputs are the same and are equivalent to 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. type of location. For all of the reasons detailed above we would recommend customers use a standard dish for Sky, freesat

Universal LNB’s work by varying a supplied voltage form the satellite TV receiver which will switch the LNB between receiving horizontal and vertically polarised signals and by applying continuous 22Khz tone it switches the LNB between a high and low band. It does this as the bandwidth on transmission is greater than the bandwidth available on the coaxial cable, this means that at any one time there is only ¼ of the available satellite services on the coaxial cable at any one time. Therefore, you can’t just split a satellite signal off a universal LNB and why separate cables need to be installed with separate direct connections to the LNB, which I will explain more on shortly. It’s not uncommon for users to combine terrestrial TV services with satellite television signals and run them off the same cable or cables. In general, it requires less coaxial and lets users set up diplexed or triplexed wall-plates instead. However, these setups will no longer work with this new generation of Freesat models for the following reasons: At the same time, this LNB is designed to oscillate signals down to a frequency of about 300Mhz. This is in stark contrast to Quad Style LNBs, which will normally only go as low as 950Mhz. The use of separate cables to provide separate channels and the extra available bandwidth means there is no need for LNB switching to access all the channels.There are also 40mm clamp LNBs and C120 LNBs. This refers to the way they fit on a dish. A 40mm LNB has an front of a standard multiswitch. This provides 4 Sky Q™ outputs. The existing outputs from the multiswitch are This has only a very small effect on the signal. Most CI and free to air receivers are sensitive anyway. Install a second satellite dish. While this isn’t ideal, you could easily have one wideband LNB feeding your Freesat and one feeding your Quad or Octo.

If you need to split the the twin widenand LNB to 2 x feesat 4K recordable boxes, us a wideband splitter available to continue working with Sky HD, freesat or standard receivers. Alternatively, connect it to your existingThere a several types of universal LNB, the most common ones between single LNB’s and Quad LNB’s. The difference between them all is the amount of outputs that the LNB itself has, this allows extra satellite receivers to be added for extra TV points and for the addition of satellite PVR’s that has recordable, pause, play and rewind TV services, like Sky+ and Freesat+that require two separate LNB connections to work properly. When you install a communal IRS TV system, traditional LNB’s can’t be used as the amount of connections required is usually far greater than available on an Octo LNB. For this reason, a new approach must be adopted, and this is done via a Quattro LNB and multi-switch amplifiers. This blog isn’t about the installation of communal TV systems, so I won’t go into great detail here. 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: If you’ve switched from Sky Q then your dish is likely to have a wideband LNB and you will be able to record three different channels while you watch another, or record four different channels while you watch a recording you made earlier (or any programme On Demand).

of a 1.2m dish. (less signal) OR, It may (try to) illuminate 1.3m of dish. This will cause infrared These LNB’s are intended for use with long satellite cable runs where the cable resistance could cause loss of signal. It’s not a good idea to install these in situations with short cable runs as you could overload the satellite receiver and cause poor TV reception. Quad LNB’s are the most common LNB that are installed, and I personally install them as standard with all our standard Sky and Freesat installations.A Quad LNB will allow up to four satellite receivers to be connected, two PVR’s or one PVR and two standard satellite receivers. If more connections are required,then the LNB must be upgraded to an Octo LNB. is a perfect shape from leaving the factory to arriving at the customer. Metal petalised prime focus dishes Hybrid LNB’s work with our new 4K Box as well as older Freesat Boxes, letting you record up to four shows at the same time. You will need to ensure that your Box is plugged into the Wideband outputs of a Hybrid LNB. This will show up on the Box as “Wideband LNB” Some Hybrid LNBs do not have dedicated Wideband outputs. For these, any output will work with your Box, however you may only be able to record up to two shows at once.A common and very welcome additional is that of hybrid LNB’s. These are a combination of the wideband LNB used for Sky Q and Quad LNB’s used for normal Sky and Freesat. This means that a single satellite dish can be used to connect a Sky+HD or Freesat box in one room and a Sky Q box in another and this allows us to future proof the satellite dish installation as much as possible and give greater flexibility to our customers. Hybrid LNB’s come with 6 outputs and not all hybrid LNB’s are the same. Some allow either a Sky Q or normal Sky/Freesat box to connect to every single output of the LNB and others have 2 wideband outputs and 4 universal outputs. The latter meaning that if you need to make sure that the cables that feed each satellite receiver corroborate with the connections on the LNB otherwise it will not work. Ultimately, this means that users won’t need separate satellite connections for each specific tuner. This is how Freesat UHD models offer four tuners with only two cables being connected. Moreover, in the future, more tuners could be added (such as 6 or 8) without the need for extra cables. Is the Freesat Wideband LNB compatible with my system? and 2 normal outputs (legasy). This means two single HD receivers or a twin tuner HD receiver can also be connected.
