[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 631906, member: 256551"] Those diagrams are useless for the satellites you want, they are from an American site. I know nothing about the sats over there, and their terminology is different. But from what I can gather, the diagram you have derived yours from is based on a single band system with only the polarity requiring to be switched, thus the multiswitch requires only two inputs i.e a 'dual' LNB is required to cover just the two possibilities. Wheras for Hotbird, Nilesat, Badr etc and the european sats we can see, we need a universal LNB on Ku band,or for a multiswitch 4 inputs , i.e Hi V,Lo V,Hi H, Lo H. C -band I presume is different though, but Hotbird doesn't use that. It appears also that the American definition of a dual LNB is different to ours, we'd call that a twin, but each output would be universal, thiers appear to be single band. BTW please kill the live links, site admin does not permit them. [/QUOTE]
