was looking at one of these at a show last year and as they don't do a twin LNB one and its not possible to upgrade to a twin (spoke to guy who had tried) decided to wait.

Funnily enought we're thinking of getting one of these, very similar

couldn't find anyone who had one fitted.
I presume you would want a dble LNB for sky+ or is there another reason?

Yes I have one on our camper and it works very well in UK, not been abroad with it so can't advise on reception over there but it sohuld be broadly similar to the Multimo 40CM dish. Bear in mind that the changes currently occurring with Astra 2 group of satellites will alter reception on all dishes. I feel duty bound to declare that we sell this unit too.

sky+, sky HD, freesat+ or HD all need twin lnb's to work properly
or if you fit 2 tv's and want to watch different channels.

many reasons for double LNB's.

I would say be patient and wait until the sat. changes take place and then decide to be sure 40cm does not sound too good outside of blighty

Sky+ and Freesat+ both need dual LNB but HD channels do not! We receive all current HD channels with our Isat and an Avtex Hd sat TV.

Doesnt get much more compact, does it !!!!

Dimensions: 123mm x 72mm x 21 mm. (LxWxH)

or in English....5" x 3" x 7/8"


Ooops :Blush: just realised that is the control unit. oh:

Sky +, Sky HD+ and Freesat+, will all work fine with a single LNB. We sometimes take our Sky+ or Sky HD + boxes away with us, and we have a single LNB dish on the roof.

However you do lose the ability to record a program other than the one you are watching at that time, and to be able to playback an earlier recording, whilst recording another, or to record two programs at once.

With a single LNB they effectively becoming a bit like and old video recorder, just recording the channel you are tuned in to.

Basically you just lose the "+".........

Callum is spot on the second feed is for your ability to record onto any format, as that is what the second feed does, the ability to record.

 

[dave newell]

Which is why I said Sky+ and Freesat+ need ddual LNB, if you run a + receiver on a single LNB then you lose the + features rendering it a non plus or standard receiver albeit with record feature.

my humax freesat box has a loop through for the second input

ie

lnb into 1st input, loop out then lop back into 2nd input, Im not sure if this would allow differant channel recording or not as Ive always used a twin lnb input, but when I get time i'll wire it that way to see, unless anybody knows for sure ?

Twin LNB

was looking at one of these at a show last year and as they don't do a twin LNB one and its not possible to upgrade to a twin (spoke to guy who had tried) decided to wait.
