4 Degree 2 Satellite LNB LNBF w/Built in DiSEqC Switch - eBay (item 220594432808 end time Nov-18-10 21:37:39 PST)


don't know how well it works but looks interesting.

These have been out for quite a while. There's a review of Sadoun's version here somewhere in the old threads, I imagine this version works similarly.

The specs do not list the F/D ratio so how would you know what size dish to point it at. Brian from SatelliteAV had a post about this type of LNB having to be designed for a specific dish to work properly. You would be better off using two lnb's so you can adjust the spacing as needed.

The only thing is, getting two LNBs close enough together to get a solid 4-degree spacing can be tricky, depending on the size of your LNBs and brackets and the size of your dish.

Here is a 4 degree, two satellite solution that overcomes the issues associated with fixed monoblock LNBFs. It allows for individual skew and focal distance adjustments to optimize Signal Quality. This solution was designed and distributed for GloryStar systems.

Monoblocks were designed for use in small geographical regions in Europe with higher power satellites. Monoblocks do not perform well in North America because of the great variations in longitudes, latitudes and lower power satellites.

As previously mentioned, to work effectively a monoblock must be mounted on a specific dish otherwise the signals will not properly converge on the fixed feed horns. They are not generic as the marketing suggest! If you read the reviews of monoblocks, you will notice that the second satellite reception is not that good and the units are rarely recommended for dual satellite reception.

The GEOSATpro SL1 and SL2 LNBFS were specifically designed for mounting side by side for 4 degree spacing. Wescopc has a great thread about modifying the SL1s for 2 degree reception!
