5.1 Additional reference to LNB’s, cables and wall-sockets
LNB’s:
Switchable LNB’s (Quatro Switch LNB’s or Twin LNB’s) should only be used if they are alrea-
dy available, only for single party installations and also only with SAT1 inputs (Option A /
Position A, here the switching matrix provides 22 kHz for the High Band). The degradation in
insulation consistent with the use of switchable LNB’s does not affect single-party installati-
ons (using only a single 17/8G and a 17/8K).
In conjunction with SAT1, two Twin LNB’s can only be used for two different orbital positions.
As far as the intention to receive two planes of a Low Band, this can also be achieved by
using a Dual Output LNB or a TWIN LNB.
If you require only a single polarisation plane in the Low Band range, you can use a Single
LNB for this. A polarisation plane in the High Band range can be received via a Single LNB
only via the SAT1 connection.
