FAQ - Frequently asked questions

There are countless LNB variants on the market. The spectrum ranges from simple single LNBs for households with a television to complex multi-subscriber systems including distributors and amplifiers. These types of LNBs exist:

Single LNB

Single LNBs are the simplest version of TV reception via satellite. Single LNBs have exactly one output, to which the coaxial cable is connected with an F-connector. Basically only one receiver can be operated on the single LNB.

Twin LNB

Twin LNBs are particularly suitable for smaller satellite systems with two receivers. The receivers are each at the separate LNB connections. As a result, the complete satellite reception is ensured independently of each other on both connected receivers.

Quad LNB

At Quad LNBs you will find 4 outputs. This provides you with the full signal spectrum at each output and you can connect up to 4 receivers,

Quattro LNB

Quattro LNBs are the most flexible type of LNBs. With them you can use virtually any number of receivers. However, no receivers can be directly connected to the Quattro LNB. This requires a multi-switch, which is switched between LNB and receiver.

Unicable LNB

Unicable LNBs (or "single-cable LNBs") are a fairly modern type of LNBs. With them you can operate up to 4 receivers on a single cable.

Monoblock LNB

Monoblock LNBs are designed to receive the programs from two different satellites using a satellite dish. For this purpose, a monobloc LNB has two LNBs in one component.

Octo LNB

An Octo LNB is an LNB with built-in 8-way multiswitch. It is also often referred to as an 8-way LNB quad switch.

Fibre LNB

Fibre LNBs have an optical output. They are particularly suitable for systems with long signal paths.
