Sky Q with a Teleco dish

Fuzzy68 — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 11:58:50 GMT

Hi recently upgraded to sky q from HD. We have a teleco satellite dish on our narrow boat. We have changed the receiver to the sky q so have gone from 4 cables to two cables as we had multi-room. It says we have no satellite signal yet have the odd channel coming through ( 2 or 3)

what are we doing wrong??

help and advice please

thanks

hi @Fuzzy68

SKY Q does not use the older 'Universal' LNBs - it uses a wideband LNB.

This is normally changed during installation.

Hi @Fuzzy68 Just checking that Sky loaned you the Sky Q box? Only it is strange that the installer did not change the LNB and check everything was working before he/she left.

@Fuzzy68 As you have 4 Universal Legacy LNB signals from your existing Teleco LNB, the cheapest option would be to purchase a Unitron dCSS-422 adaptor from an auction site for around £35 and connect the 4 existing cables that emerge from your Teleco dish Legacy Universal LNB to the 4 inputs of this adaptor.

Then connect a single coaxial cable between one of the two SCR output ports of this adaptor to your Sky Q receiver, and finally re-configure your Sky Q receiver to use SCR LNB mode instead of its legacy Wideband LNB mode.

This option would hopefully still allow you to select the required Universal LNB band output via your original auto position seeking receiver to maintain your satellite beam to receive satellite transponder signals from the Astra 28.2 satellite cluster.

(NB. As the Teleco auto positioning receiver will now switch the Legacy Universal LNB output port connected to its input port to provide signals from whichever band it requires (Hh, Vh, Hl or Vl), you will have to manually determine which input port on the Unitron dCSS-422 also requires this particular Legacy Universal LNB band input when your Legacy Universal LNB satellite transponder signals have been diverted through the auto position seeking receiver.)

Godfrey.

@Fuzzy68 its not clear from your post did you upgrade to Sky Q on your narrow boator to a home somwhere else ? and you are taking your Q box to use on your narrow boat

Did Sky supply the Q box ?
