Yes Shahid, but a lot of the digital receivers have single LNB inputs only, instead using DiseqC switching, still does the same thing but uses a little external switch. >Do the LNB's need changing as >the HOTBIRD one is UNIVERSAL. Universal is exactly what you need, you will need to replace the 19,2 one if it isn't universal. >Would it be risky to try >and do a LNB test >by removing the skydigial cable >and putting the 13.0 HOTBIRD >cable in and tuning a >digital channel at that location. > >WOULD THE SYSTEM BLOW UP!!??? Yes most definitely, but nice Mr Murdoch will replace it free of charge if it does :D Only Joking, should have no problems at all. Rolf Thought I'd answer as 2old is probably busy writing Rant # 357590 [/QUOTE]
