- inexpensive
- decent performance
- bandstacked, so no switching between V & H (both are on the coax all the time)
- just a splitter required to feed it to an additional receiver
- they've been well spoken of on the forum, so you should be able to search for more info.

kind of sort works like the new single wire directv lnbs so all you need is power passing splitter and can run multiple receivers at the same time over coax. pretty nice concept.

yep I have one and it works really good. The only drawback is your receiver needs to support 2 LNB LO's (5150/5750). Some receivers will only allow one frequency for C-Band. On Coolsats its considered OCS.

If you only have capability of one LNB LO frequency then one polarity will be off by 600mhz.

So iceberg, if your receiver only accepts one LO, it will still scan in all the tp's just the frequency reading will be wrong? But it still works

 

[Mr Tony]

yep.

If you use 5150 then all H transponders will be 600mhz lower and vertical will be right
If you use 5750 then all V transponders will be 600mhz higher and horizontal will be right

I learned that back when I had the Quali-TV. All horizontal polarity was 600 mhz lower. So World Harvest (4000 H 26400) was at 3400 H 26400
The Coolsat 8000 I had 2 sats set up.. One with LNB LO 5150 and one with 5750

I have several tied to powered DP34's and they work very well.
