Twin LNB

[admin_exported]

Hi, Advise needed please, at present i am watching sky with a single Lnb,my intention is to change to Freesat/Pvr this i believe requires a twin Lnb, is this a difficult task to take on myself or should i seek professional advise.

Thankyou.

I was under the impression that standard sky LNBs are twin anyway, to allow you to multi-room, you get a quad LNB when you upgrade to Sky+.

no there not, if you have standard sky with just one stb then in all likelyhood a single lnb would have been fitted.

as for changing an lnb, tbh yes its reletively easy task to carry out. but having said that in todays climate, e.g stringent h/s rules and regs, blame culture, etc i'd be very reluctent to offer advice that may mean working on ladders/at heights and would say leave it to the pro's

edit- oh,and by the time you've factored in the cost of an lnb,decent cable and connections... plus ideally after replacing the lnb you should be checking dish alignment which will require a sat meter though you can by cheapish meters by the time you've done all that its not gonna cost you a great deal more to get a pro in
