Can you put two or more LNBs on one dish?

if you are curious and want to know your current DTH antenna how many other satellite signals can be received? Can you put two LNBs or multiple LNBs on one dish? Don’t worry, Here we will tell you how you can connect multiple LNBs on a single DTH antenna. But before doing this activity you home, you should have some technical knowledge. So let’s figure out how it is possible.

Before making a multi-LNB dish, you should know about your currently used satellite equipment. if you are buying a new setup then you should check the below points.

Types of equipment –

DTH Antenna Size:

Dish size should be 60cm to 100 cm for good gain because one small dish gives 40-60 dB gain so use your dish antenna branded and good quality.

The best-preferred antenna is the ” Dish TV type’ because it is cover Horizontal space widely. It is easily available in your nearby market.

LNB:

Selection of LNB, always chooses low noise figure LNB for best signals, if you are using low size dish antenna.

The best preferred LNB is “0.01 Noise Figure (75db Gain)” or Ultra Black LNB is very good but it is very costly.

Set-top Box:

I do always suggest using MPEG-2 / DVB-s receiver for installation only because the MPEG-2 receiver can easily lock the signal during moving your DTH antenna right, left, Up, and down. It will show you a real-time gain info bar, It is far better than any digital satellite dB meter. So always use the MPEG-2 receiver at the time of installation, try to on Tone burst from your set-top box if available, because this is an easy way to set your dish.

Cable:

always use good cable and connectors, because if you do not use good cable, then it will loss of Gain, for example, if you are receiving gain from Dish 60db gain and your cable is taking 10-20dB gain then your set-top box receives only 50db or less gain, it means it will not lock signals, if locked then picture quality or TV channel’s audio video will freeze. ,

How to point your dish on the correct satellite?

While installing a dish, you should remember that there should be a gap of 1-6 degrees within satellites, because under 4-5 degrees you can catch satellites easily.

Now I am doing setup for 3 LNB on one Dish. you can check the given below pictures.

for example

Freedish Satellite ( Insat 4B) Available at 93.5 Degree

Dish TV (Nss6)                            Available at 95.0 Degree

(Both satellites you can catch by Single LNB because there is a difference of only 1.5 Degree)

Sun Direct DTH (Measat)                        Available at 91.5 Degree

Here is the multi-LNB dish setup where I have attached the Images of Multiple LNBs on a single dish antenna. I didn’t use any Multiple LNB Holder. I just stuck all the LNBs together using plastic tape. You can also attach 4 LNB in one dish according to this idea. You can get TV channels from all the LNBs by using DiSEqC Switch. So you can also make a monoblock LNB at home, but you should have 2 in 1 DiSEqC Switch to combine signals of dual LNB. This Setup is useful for multi-DTH connections or for FTA TV channels

Multiple LNB on Single Dish – How to Install

You can ask us questions about any difficulties.

Caution – If you do not have technical knowledge, the signal of your dish antenna may be bad, and you may not be able to fix it after that. Then for this, you have to go to a DTH shop and hire an installation person. This will cost. pay special attention to.

FAQs –

How do I connect multiple receivers to one dish?

You can connect multiple receivers in one dish, and use two-way LNB / Twin LNB or Dual LNB, Four Way LNB, Eight output LNB.

What is a multi-LNB dish?

If you are connecting more than one LNB which is called a multi-LNB dish.

How do you connect 2 LNB?

You can buy a Twin or Dual LNB bracket. Of you can use the above trick.

What does a twin LNB do?

twin LNB distributes satellite signals to both twin ports so you can connect two receivers.

Can you split LNB signal?

No, If you are using a splitter then it will not work. It is better to use multi-output LNBs.

Can two decoders connect to one dish?

yes, You can use up to 16 set-top boxes with one dish antenna, if you have 16 out LNB or using One solution LNB.
