    lnb/satellite advice

    Just moving into a new house and looking to put in satellite and soarview areial.


    Was looking for a quad lnb but seen hybrid that have 2 wideband and 4 normal.outputs.

    My question is are widebands FBC outputs? Also will a standard sky dish work ok with a FBC lnb?

    There is a difference between a wideband LNB for Sky Q and a wideband Unicable LNB. I'm not sure that any Enigma 2 boxes support a wideband Sky Q LNB - only Sky and maybe one or two Freesat "branded" boxes.

    Sky Q needs two cables and "steals" the frequencies used for terrestrial TV, FM/DAB radio and 4/5G to provide the full coverage of the transponders. This is a completely different technical solution to Unicable II. This is not a problem with the cables directly connected to a Sky Q compatible box. A Sky Q compatible box is not the same as a Unicable compatible box.

    To take advantage of FBC tuners you need to look at Unicabe II LNBs or maybe Unicable II LNBs with a couple of legacy Universal outputs. Possibly something like

    See this thread about Unicable LNBs and FBC tuners.

    The wideband outlets of that lnb are not compatible with any enigma receiver.
