13/16/19.2 lnb

[Blu-ray]

Found Inverto monoblock single triple feed lnb 13/16/19.2 east, 3 satellites on one lnb KU BAND will this work on a MUT@NT HD 2400. 38202

Of course it will work. Set one of your tuners to Diseqc A/B/C/D.

Thanks just ordered one, just hope it's as easy as A B C D to setup. lol

Please be aware that any monoblock is not only for a specific dish-size but also only for a specific geographical location. As you can see in

http://www.inverto.tv/products/product.php?section=1&id=262
it is meant for use in Central European countries; I hope that suits you?

But as the block has a build-in DiSEqC 1.0 switch, using ports A, B & C, every STB is able to handle it.

That's good advice from Rob. It's one of the reasons why monoblocks were never very popular in UK and Ireland (too far West). Was easier to get brackets for Triax dishes which allowed you to mount 3 or 4 LNBs and focus them yourself. You then needed a DiseqC switch of course.

I have a Fracarro 85cm Penta dish with motor and can pickup 13/16 & 19 east ok, are u saying i will not be able to pick up these satellites using this monoblock & dish instead of motor.

Not sure; depends on your location.
And there's a difference between 'not picking up' and 'not picking up optimal'. Even outside the designated range (both for dish-size and location) it may very well be possible to pick up some transponders. And you might average the damage over the three feedhorns; align all for 16E and accept some (?) loss for 13E & 19E. Also make sure to use the correct skew; that can make a huge difference, especially when the alignment isn't 100%.

I am in Norfolk and get good reception with dish & motor.

Yes, but motorised dish has nothing to do with the geometry of a mono-block.
You can perfectly align the motorized LNB, but not 3 LNB's that are fixed to each other.

If they don't work look in the Bargain basement in a couple of weeks time. lol

It's to do with the physical spacing between the LNBs in a monoblock. They are fixed and optimised for the reception angles from a particular location. Imagine you were in Hungary somewhere on the 16E longitude. The 16E satellite would be to your South and 13E slightly West and 19.2 would be slightly East, but all would be around the central focal point of the dish. You would optimise the dish to focus on 16E. From a westerly location like UK or Ireland those satellites are all to the East and the point of focus would be different. You might get a reasonable signal but it could disappear in rain. With a motor scenario the LNB is always in the centre of focus of the dish so you can point accurately at the satellite. With a bracket arrangement and separate LNBs you can optimise the focus - see pic for example. I have a motor also and those satellites are relatively easy to receive, but if you're buying a monoblock then check that it's usable in your location. The issue with brackets and separate LNBs is that you need to set them up (once presumably) and you will need a DiseqC switch.

Edit - further info. There are quite a number of monoblock LNBs available in the UK, but nearly always only for two satellites with a 6 degree spacing (e.g. 13E and 19E). If you do end up looking at a bracket solution, then you are going to need narrow LNBs to handle the tight 3 degree spacing between 16E and 19E or 13E.

Or send it to me: I'm more central in Europe :)
