Newbie question re monoblock LNB - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

bunters · 03-01-08, 09:29 PM

Having done some research, i've established, the main satellites i'd like to watch would be 13,16 & 19 East.

Rather than fitting a motorised dish. Is it possible to get a 3 x LNB to allow me to pick up all 3?

I do hope this doesn't sound too silly

No LNB exist that I am aware off!". The way to do it would be with 3 separate LNBs or set up a motorised dish

Thanks SS for your reply (& for not laughing!)

So another daft question, to allow me to fit 3 seperate LNB's, i take it i would need some sort of bracket? & how do i get 3 feeds into one?

Yes you need a bracket which will have collers for the LNBs to fit into and will be spaced. I have attached an image of the bracket used with Raven dishes. Prices vary but around £15

You would use a 4x1 DiSEqC switch.
