What is a Dual LNB?
A Dual LNB is just two LNB’s in one housing. Each connection can operate independently of each other so you can have two receivers, and each one is looking at different channels on different transponders. They both look at the same satellite (101 Degree satellite). A single LNB only has one coax connection and cannot be used with more than 1 DIRECTV receiver. What is the difference between the “Round” 18″ dishes and the “Elliptical” 18″x24″ dishes? The 18″ dish had a Dual LNB that looks at one satellite. The 18×24″ dish has TWO Dual LNB’s and is set up to see two satellites… the 101 degree and the 119. The 119-degree satellite sends additional programming such as foreign language programming and HDTV programming. Another option is to use two Round 18″ dishes, one pointed at the 101 degree satellite and the other pointed at the 119 satellite to do the same as the Elliptical dish. This gives you the same functionality but is not very attractive for your clients home. You would connect
