How is the Sky hybrid LNB powered?

When I had SkyQ, Sky replaced my LNB with a hybrid one so I could continue using my Humax Freesat receiver.  The hybrid LNB has 2 wideband and 4 'traditional' outputs.

 

My Humax Freesat receiver was working fine.  I recently returned SkyQ when I got Stream.

 

Since returning SkyQ, my Humax receiver complains of no signal on either LNB input.

 

Is this a coincidence or does the hybrid LNB depend upon SkyQ to get power?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Jaybee2 

The LNB should still function normally without a Q box connected.

I have done a reset on the Humax box and everything is working again.
