Sky Quad LNB, BRAND NEW, HD READY, SKY PLUS, FREESAT

Brand New QUAD Output Universal LNB Suitable For Sky Dishes

LNB means low noise block, this device 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 quite 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, not just Sky. The particular type supplied may vary and will be  manufactured by Zinwell. Thomson, MTI or WNC. All these manufacturers specialise in the manufacture of RF components and all are market leaders in this field. No cheap rubbish!! 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. The arm cross section is approximately 30mm x 18mm. There are still a few old sky dishes more than seven years old still in service and these dishes can use a smaller arm with a cross section of 25mm x 10mm. These dishes were made by Grundig and Cambridge and unfortunately modern LNB's will not fit. You need to consider replacement of the dish. Please get in touch if you have a question.

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.

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. Optionally you can also fit rubber boots on the cables as well. Please see the connectors section in our shop for these items.

This LNB is supplied at a bargain price with promotional free UK postage. One of the best deals on ebay!! If you purchase then you are dealing with someone who  knows what they are talking about. You will get answers  to your technical queries and questions before the sale and after.
