sky q and mini box lnb

[richie3544]

HI thinking  of moving to sky q from sky+hd  , we have  a  multi lnb that feeds 4 freesat  boxes as well as sky  , would they supply a new lnb that works with sky but would also be able to work my freesat  boxes  .

Hi @richie3544 

There is a hybrid LNB that feeds Sky Q and Freesat .

However I believe the current version only has one ouput for each.  Also the Freesat output is not suitable for the latest Freesat 4 K boxes which need a Wideband output same as the Q box.

I believe there are Hybrid LNBs  that have 2 wideband & 4 Universal output as well as 2 +2 

Note : SKY no longer supply Hybrid LNBs and I believe the official policy is not to use LNBs that SKY do not supply, however, I, also, think that many engineers are 'shall we say flexible on that

BTW I think the Freesat 4K boxes can work with both Universal & Wideband LNBs

You may wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q

SKY +/HD to SKY Q
