LNB Vs LNBF – As you know satellite TV is the real miracle of technology that receives broadcast high-quality sound and pictures direct from the satellite. It means first we (humans) send this data to a satellite and the same satellite distributes content by using C-Band and Ku-Band transponders to different-2 areas of the earth. LNBF means Low Noise Block Filter, a special device installed on Dish Antenna to receive satellite TV signals from C-Band wide coverage reception beam. This LNBF collects radio wave signals for dish panels. The LNBF receives power from the Set-Top box inside the home which connects by Coaxial cable. Normally, we use two types of devices Universal LNB and C-Band LNBF.

LNB –

For the Ku-Band satellite TV signals, we use Universal LNB which does not use any feedhorn, so we called LNB. We fit this device on a small DTH antenna. It is usually used in direct-to-home TV services like Dish Network, Sky DTH, Tata Sky, Aakash Bangla, etc.

LNBF –

The C-Band LNBF use feedhorn so we called LNBF for C-Band. In C-Band LNBF you can see metal pins which used to convert waves and convert and amplify analog signals.

LNB vs LNBF –

LNB requires a separate feedhorn to collect and focus the satellite signal, and other side LNBF has a built-in feedhorn that collects and focuses the satellite signal onto the LNB. So you understand that LNBF is a more compact and easier-to-install option, while LNB offers more flexibility and customization options. The choice between LNBF and LNB ultimately depends on your specific satellite TV reception needs and preferences. For more technical information related to satellite TV, especially about LNBF, you can find more topics here.
