Double LNB for satellite t.v.

Postby chicdiz » Sun Oct 08, 2006 2:48 pm

Has anyone any experience in fitting their own double LNB to use with 2 digiboxes to watch one programme while recording another?

We have tried fitting a universal one but cannot receive a signal. Any info on how double LNBs are tuned to the digibox would be invaluable.

Many thanks.

I just swapped on for the other.

It should have a low band local oscillator frequency of 9,75Ghz and a high band local oscillator frequency of 10,6 GHz. If it is any different you will have to change the LNB settings in the installer's menu.

It must also accept 22KHz tone switching commands.
