You need to call a particular LNB from set-top box antenna settings.Monoblock LNB is specially designed to receive signals from 2 or more different satellites.
It means you are using two different-2 LNBs in a single sealed pack box. The LNB on the left goes into the LNB holder on your dish and the DiSEqC switch will recognize this LNB as Port 1 or Port A.

I can understand that we have to select LNB1 for one satellite and LNB2 for another satellite in STB. But whether the splitter will aways send the signals of each satellite in the same ports always Or we have to keep on changing the LNB ports in STB every time when we are restarting the set top box. I cant comment much on the reliability or otherwise of satellite receivers. Welcome to the Digital Spy forums. If youd like to join in, please sign in or register. Cant afford that That was for a 90cm eliptical dish (they said 80 cm wouldnt be enough), 2 extra lnbs for hotbird and astra 19.2, new cable to a second digibox and an external switch of some kind. And of course a steel pole to replace my aluminium one They said it generally is a pain to try and view the other 2 lnbs channels with only the existing digibox and manual switching. I was just planning to occasionally use and view the channels from my new satellites, and wouldnt expect them to be conveniently inline with the normal Sky Digital channels, so maybe it wouldnt be a great inconvenience. Anyone know of or have a cost-sensitive solution here I suppose at a pinch I could maybe handle the dishlnb work myself, but not the new coax run which would have to go over my roof as my current one does. I really am looking at having to get the men in unfortunately. It just sounds more expensive than I hoped. Im in Coventry, west midlands if anyone wants to offer a deal:cool: ). Jesus, cowboys or what not sure about the size of dish, 80cm is fine in Lux. LNB holder, 19.2 in the middle, 28 on the left (looking at the dish) and 13 on the right. Keep direct cable from 28 to digibox Get a cheap FTA receiver (30 or cheaper if you go to ebay), and a disecq switch, run a seperate cable from the switch to the FTA receiver, and you only have to worry about scart inputs. Ation Double Lnb Astra Hotbird Lnb Plus A TennerDish - 1.1m - 79 new plus a tenner postage stealbegborrow a bit of scaffolding pole and cut to size 3 branch LNB holder - 17 plus 6 post two LNBs - 2 x 14 plus 5 post diseqc switch - 7 free post and some cable f-plugs Total - 152 plus a receiver Just need someone to tune it in for you. I asked them if that was a top of the range expensive one and they said it wasnt. Must be the labour charges really raising the cost; I would need someone to do it for me; strongly doubt I would succeed in a DIY job. An 80 cm dish will be plenty for 13 19 28E Put the prime focus on 13E as its marginally the weakest. PM me for some suppliers as DS dont really like commercial outfits getting free plugs on the boards. Erm, I dont remember. When you get to my age you are lucky to remember to tie your shoe laces) If you get an LNB bracket off Ebay be sure to get one to match the dish, otherwise you may find that the LNBs dont actually point anywhere near the centre of the dish. A 90cm gives a slightly better rain margin but it also makes alignment more critical. And I bet you dont get as much rain as we do (Especially the cold white flakey variety). Although Analoguesat is correct in theory, in practice its easier to put the 19 LNB in the middle and results should be perfectly OK in Coventry (but probably not in the woolly wild Borders country where a beck is a burn and a chimney is a lum). I dont expect to be routinely wanting to flip back and forth between channels satellites in a normal viewing way. I basically miss lots of the euro channels from the analogue days; plus watching european repeats might be more interesting than the english ones on sky. Sam, I was thanking you for your last reply on the coax thread ). For reference, I live in York and an installer in the West Yorkshire area who is CAI registered charged me 110 for a 78cm dish with 3 LNBs. He aligned 19.2E as prime focus with 13E and 28.2E as offsets. Existing cabling was used for 19.2E and 28.2E. The existing LNB for 28.2E was used too. A new pole was fitted for the dish however. Taking into account the price of a new LNB, maybe a switch and 2 new runs of cabling you should still be able to get all this for around 150. Thanks a lot; So your 110 was for the supply and install of a new dish, steel pole, 2 lnbs and extra cable run Sounds very reasonable. I used my own equipment for receiving channels - a Skystar 2 PCI satellite card bought second hand via eBay for 33 is being used for reception of FTA channels from all 3 positions.
