[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1090102, member: 176704"] TBH, I think you are incorrect - an LNB with 4 outputs for a "Sky" dish is simply 4x separate LNBs in one unit, designed to, typically, supply 2 feeds to 2 separate receivers,each of which has 2 inputs to allow simultaneous recording of 1 channel whilst recording another. Very widely installed in the UK (and probably elsewhere) - but essentially NO different to a single output LNB, which is all that the Tosh TV's sat tuner is designed to handle (and thus it cannot be used to watch one channel whilst recording another). PS: I use a standard "Sky" 4 o/p LNB on the Zone 2 dish aimed at 30W with 1 o/p (the others are unconnected) feeding the 16-1 DiSEqC switch that links to the house, and I set it up and treat it exactly like the standard single o/p LNB that I tried on that dish but worked no better! PPS: Toni said that the label on the LNB is very faded - that means that it has been installed for quite a long time, and thus probably well before wideband Unicable LNBs began to be installed in the UK.
