I have just had a bargain from e-bay 260268274736

When I fit it, I will only be using two outputs. What do I do about sealing up the

other two outputs? They do have plastic legs, but I don't think they would

seal it well enough.

Fit 2 x 75 Ohm terminators and self - Alga tape. Job done

Nice one! Thanks for the quick reply

A dab of blutac will do just as well

I never seal up unused ports on any of my lnbs, and havent had a failure yet due to water ingress.

I just put the supplied blanking plugs on, but then it never rains here

That's a right bargain CB

I paid three times that, and I thought I'd done well!
