replace single lnb with monoblock - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hallo,

here I am again! Thanks to your help and suggestions I can watch italian channels and many more.
I bought the fantastic Technomte 5200d usb and a 80cm orbital dish with a single lnb and I'm poiting Hotbird 13.

Now my question is: for change the single lnb with the 6 degree Monoblock Universal LNB for having both ASTRA1 and HOTBIRD, do I need to buy the monoblock and something more or I just need to remove the single LNB, install the monoblock and point againg the dish?

Thanks,

kririk

Basically, just replace the single with the monobloc. Do not move the dish at all; clamp in the right side of the monoblock (looking at the dish) and angle the left side of the monobloc upwards slightly. Remember to set receiver to Diseqc Port A (or 1) for Hotbird and Port B (or 2) for Astra 1.

Or in other words: 1of4 for hotbird and 2 of 4 for astra while in the the sat setup menu ( for your receiver) (diseqc1.0)
