[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1165546, member: 415308"] The current LNB is a Sky quad LNB. In the last photo of the dish at 12 o'clock on the white cap there is a black mark that could be a hole. I can also see at around 1 o'clock at the rear of the cap it looks like there's another bit missing. With regards to quad or quattro it depends on what mutiswitch you are using. If you buy a new dish it will likely come with a quad or wideband (Sky Q) LNB which won't work with televisions and older (non 4K) Freesat boxes. As mentioned by Captain Jack above you will only ever get 2 satellite outputs from that Labgear and as it needs two inputs there's almost no point using it, you could feed each satellite receiver directly from the LNB. If you need more than four outputs you could use an octo LNB with eight outputs. An old Sky SD receiver won't get many channels as it isn't DVB-S2 compatible. I'm not even sure they'll work at all once Sky stop updating the EPG in the near future. [/QUOTE]
