Rugged Construction - Made with certified and approved materials to supply the strongest signal strength and best signal quality. It serves as the Radio Frequency front end of the satellite receiver, managing and amplifying the microwave signal from the satellite collected by the dish and down converting the block of frequencies to a lower block of intermediate frequencies. When I had SkyQ, Sky replaced my LNB with a hybrid one so I could continue using my Humax Freesat receiver.

The LNB utilises a combination of low-noise amplifier, local oscillator, frequency mixer, and intermediate frequency amplifier. There used to be an FAQ pinned to the top of this forum which had that as one of its information points, but this has now disappeared. This versatile LNB comes with 6 feed outputs that allow you to connect up to four satellite receivers - or two receivers with PVR functionality for simultaneous watching and recording of different channels while using the wideband outputs to feed your Sky Q box. In my case I have a mark 3 sky dish and I have just cancelled my sky subscription which I will replace with a freesat box. This LNB is the very latest designed to work with Sky Q, as well as legacy receivers such as Sky, Sky+, Sky+HD and Freesat.

GREATER FLEXIBILITY TO A HOUSEHOLD:The Hybrid LNB Allows greater flexibility to a household, avoids having to have more than one satellite dish on the property and when you decided to leave the Sky contract you can use the 4 Quad outputs to power free to air Freesat receivers with no monthly contract charges or having to replace the satellite dish or LNB. The signal strength is much better and now I can record up to 6 channels at once (I have 2 boxes connected, a standard one and a UHD Freesat box).

In the Sky Q box, multiple tuners can select multiple channels, more than the usual two for dual coax systems.To make life as easy as possible for you I have tried to create our site which shows us to the best of our ability. Thinking I could run freesat with a recording device to save the terrestrial programmes we want to record and not rely on streaming. Two outputs are used for a Freesat box which is being replaced by SkyQ, and the other two go direct into my TV for Freesat viewing.
