Gigablue ordered.
Noobie question.....do i need special LNB to use with the FBC tuner, or can I use my "ordinary" Primesat LNB?
Hi lya,
I've just ordered a gigablue 4k ue.
I've returned my technos to the rainforest. Hopefully I'll get on better with this.
What's a primesat lnb? Im assuming my standard sky dish will do the job. The tuners might be smarter or have a wider band, but I doubt that forces a better lnb? No idea though.
Did you go for the UE model?
@iya @inoton
Giag UE 4K, is a very nice receiver, but..
To get any real benefit from the fbc tuners, you need a new unicable lnb ... so you need to do some reading on the fbc/unicable requirements ... would have been better before ordering, but better late than never

Eek. Will I be able to watch freesat with my current dish (from sky)
Unicable and FBC tuners are two different technologies.
You can use a standard tuner with a unicable LNB. This is more versatile. If more people use them, prices might come down quicker.
You can also use an FBC tuner with a standard/universal LNB. You do not need a unicable LNB with FBC tuners.
Yes, a unicable LNB with an FBC satellite tuner will give more access to signal stream

Abu as usual is correct, but having only a dual FBC tuner (only option with the Giga 4K) for DVB-S2 and then sticking a normal LNB on the end of the cable kind of removes the point of buying the receiver... and changing the LNB to a Unicable LNB is not a big deal in terms of fitting or cost............ but if you don‘t want to watch and record a great deal then stay with your current LNB‘S
