Latest Quad LNB new in box for Sky Freesat sat dish

Brand New QUAD Output Universal LNB Suitable For Sky Dishes

PLEASE NOTE: This is a 4 output LNB. It is the older type pre 2009 that fits on 99% of Sky dishes. Sky have started to fit a new slightly bigger dish and this LNB will not fit. However,I do have quads for the new type dish please ask for details.

LNB or low noise block, receives the transmission from the satellite. Your satellite dish focuses the transmission from the satellite to the white end of the LNB. Inside the LNB the high frequencies are reduced in frequency and amplified so that your satellite receiver can understand the transmission.

Failure of the LNB is common as it leads a hard life outside in the British weather. Cooling, heating, and water ingress can all lead to failure. There are a few signs of failure which include, no satellite signal present message on your tv screen, intermittent no satellite signal present message and failure to receive some channels completely. It is important however to understand that a poorly aligned satellite dish can also cause these symptoms. Check your dish has not moved. Also check for obstructions in front of your dish, eg a tree.

This universal LNB is the type used by Sky in their installations. It is designed specifically for the Sky dishes as fitted by Sky. You can also use this LNB for any other satellite services that require a universal LNB. The particular type supplied may vary. All these manufacturers specialise in the manufacture of RF components and all are market leaders in this field. Regardless of the brand of LNB fitted on your dish originally you can replace it with this one. This LNB is suitable for fitting to Sky supplied dishes with a rectangular LNB support arm.

A quad LNB is suitable as a replacement for a single or a dual LNB if you wish to add extra satellite receivers to your installation. A typical example would be the installation of  a Sky Plus box which requires two of the outputs. This LNB will supply 2 Sky Plus boxes or 4 single input receivers such as Free to Air receivers or Freesat receivers. This LNB is also perfect for use with Freesat HD satellite receivers. It is quite permissible to only use the outputs you require and leave spares for future expansion.

This LNB is compatible with all modern satellite dishes with a 40mm clamp. You can remove the 40mm clamp to fit to a non Sky dish but some improvisation may be required as there can be raised parts of plastic on the neck which should be filed off.

Lets have a look at exactly what you get:

• LNB assembly with cable shroud
• LNB collar assembly with plastic locking pin
• Sky have redesigned the quad LNB's in 2009 to suit the new dish,  you will receive the LNB type before this. (Unless you specify the newer one.)

Replacement of this LNB is very simple. No special tools or knowledge are required. You need to undo the F connector from the old LNB, this twists off like a screw. You may need to remove the old rubber boot or cut off any rubber sealing tape that has been fitted on the connector. The next stage is to remove the  plastic pin from the boom arm and the LNB will simply slide out. The new LNB will slide in in place of the old one. The collar supplied should be fitted over the protruding arm of the LNB. Once fitted the LNB is held in place by fitting the new plastic pin through the hole in the boom arm. The next stage is to make the connections to the four ports of the LNB. After fitting the cables pull down the cable shroud. The cable shroud is built into the body of the LNB and is pulled down around the connectors.
