Dual output C-Band LNBF

[Gary Z]

IS there such a thing? I found a 6 foot BUD with LNA and block down converter, I;m hoping to replace it with a Dual output C-Band LNBF.

I've been thinking of getting one of the dual lnbf's to replace one of my bsc621's of which I have never even used the KU side. Maybe when I decide to quit tinkering with the 10ft dish and make it basically stationary, then I will make the switch. That LNBF looks perfect.

Thanks SatelliteAV,

That is what I'm looking for! That should mount on any C-band dish right?

yes it will work

have one, use one, love it

Have it set up on G4 to the 0k side of a 4x4 multiswitch to run 4 receivers

Thanks Ice... Would a 6 footer be able to get the c-band side of AMC4?

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. WOrks fine for almost everything. NBC has 7/8 FEC so its real touchy. The rest work fine

I see Lyngsat list the Sky Angel Channels on AMC 4 c-band and Mike Kohl's site does not....are they in the clear?

Also can AMC 1's c-band side be picked up with 6 footer?

 

[Mr Tony]

AMC1 can be picked up with a 6 footer. I even have a offset LNB for TLN & Pax. My main LNB is at 99 (G4) so this one is offset..The signal is low but stable. CTN comes in muvch higher than the others.

Ice how do you skew the LNBF?

yes it will work

[Mr Tony]

since the dish is fixed, I manually skewed it. If its on a motor/actuator, you would set the skew up to 0 on your true south like KU and it will automatically skew when the dish moves

 

[Gary Z]

Ice does the feedhorn on the Dual output C-Band LNB stay stationary and just the LNB itself skews? It is going to be a fixed dish. I have an actuator arm I may hook up later on. Thanks for your help Ice

 

[Mr Tony]

you skew the whole assembly. The scaler rings stay in place and there is a screw you loosen and manually skew the dish. Thing to remember is it seems like most of the C-Band LNBF's are off by 90 degrees so the 0 side is at 9:00 and I skew from there

see the attached. Its at G4 which is only 6 degrees off my true south (T6)...note its skewed at 9:00 or so

Thanks Ice I see how it works now... I'm going to get my BUD tomorrow probably take me a few weeks to get it setup because of work schedule.
