titaniun lnb hook up

[iamnomad]

I have a titanium lnb, but don't have the wiring diagram for it. There are two connectors on the lnb how do they hook up?

Sounds like you got the dual LNBF. One F connection is for horizontal polarized signals and the other for vertical polarization. You'll need 2 coax cables and a diseqc switch to select which one you want to go to the receiver. I believe you can use just one of the F connectors for both polarizations and have the receiver select which polarization you want to receive - you won't need the diseqc switch and one coax cable for that config. I hope that's clear.

Both outputs are voltage controlled polarity. 13Vdc: Vertical or 18Vdc:Horizontal. They are not fixed polarity output.

If only connecting one of the LNBF ports to one STB, protect the unused port with a bank plastic cap or a small dab of silicon sealant to prevent water intrusion. Some users prefer taking an F-fitting, filling with silicon sealant, curing then screwing on the unused port.

I currently have a c/ku lnbf but am having receiving problems on a couple of transmitters. My receiver selects the satellite and horizontal or vertical. I guess I'll try to connect both connections with a diseqc switch.

Thanks

Exactly which LNBF do you have? I had assumed that you have a dual C-band output on your LNBF so are you using a C/Ku combo LNBF instead?
