    Default Octo LNB x2

    I need 16 feeds basically,

    Installing Freesat in my new house, Id like twin feeds in each room so If I ever wanted recorder boxes in there I can.

    My question is, Can I Use 2 x Octo LNB's on a single Sky dish? or maybe a different dish if poss, Id prefer the 1 dish to keep it looking as tidy as possible, if I cant then I will have to make do with 2 separate dishes

    Thanks

    I didn't think you could split Sat signal in that way?
    I assumed you needed individual feeds from the dish?

    You can with a Quattro LNB and a suitable Loft Distribution amplifier, the LNB has 4 separate outputs for the Frequency Bands HH,HL - VH,VL the amp then takes these bands and feeds them into 4,8,16,32 etc.. outputs to do what ever you please.

    Been looking into this more and pricing up parts, its gonna be too expensive to run it through a Sat loft distribution amp, so gonna stick with 2 dishes and 2 x Octo LNB's then run each point to each room,
    It would have been nice if I could have gotten away with 1 dish but I cant justify the cost of the setup

    Default Octo LNB x2

    Twin Pin LNB provide Stronger Signal than Single Pin ? I know twin PIN lnb is used for 2 receivers while single pin lnb is for 1 receiver, is it true ?
