Re: Re: Problems using multiple Digiboxes on 1 x LNB

[Georgia Thomson <georgia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

yeah, its simple enough to do without any real tools. your dish is
aligned already, so long as you try to not bump it too much it should be
a straight swapover.

if its a sky minidishh, you're limited in choice for lnb.  get yoursle
one of teh skyware quad output ones, and it gives you the option of more
(plus they're more reliable than the skyware dual output lnbs,, in my
experience)

otherwise, just any dual or quad output lnb, with as low a signal loss
figure as possible.  i'd recommend spectrum or sateuropa for buying
from. they have a good range.

i have no idea what the lofbox is, bt it's probably one of the systems
that uses multi output lnbs and supplies a virtual lnb for each output
form itself.  i think it needs 4 outputs, one for each of high vertical,
low vertical, high horizontal, low horizontal.
