Wideband LNB - which sat boxes will be best (not Arris!)

[bayards]

Since leaving Sky about 4 years ago I have a wideband LNB dish siting there. I have connected up to my Philips TV but, of course, have to swap the leads into TV to get either Vertical or Horizontal channels as TV only has one LNB input, and I have to re-scan everytime. At least I can view the 2 x UHD test channels from SES etc.

Would like to get a receiver (not bothered if it's a non recording one) so that I can get all Freesat and other channels on one thing. I did try the Arris 4K box a year ago, but was very underwhelmed as it was difficult to tune in non-Freesat channels (not all of them either) and then go back to Freesat channels. Moving from Freesat to non-Freesat and back meant a re-install of channels. It still has a bug with regards to HDR too.

Quite happy to go Linux etc. I realise I could remove the wideband LNB and put a normal one in - but if there is anything to fit the bill would love a few names.

Thanks!

PS just wondered if the Gigabit Blue which as 2 LNB inputs would work? Attach Vertical LNB lead to input 1 and Horizontal LNB to input2.

You need to change then LNB only Sky Q and the arris freesat box are compatible with it

There are Freesat receivers that will work with wideband LNBs now.
