Humax connection with Sky dish

[Steve160656]

My Humax box is not receiving signals from my Sky Dish which has a wide band LNB do I need to change the dish ??

Is your Humax a 4k or HD box? Some wide-band LNBs have fixed outputs, typically 2 UHD and 4 HD, so your Humax would need to be connected to the right pair.

If you have switched from Sky Q to Freesat using a Humax box then you'll need to change the wideband LNB on the dish to a standard narrowband LNB, or upgrade your Humax box to a newer Arris Freesat 4K box which is compatible with the Sky Q wideband LNB.

Hi 

Its a HDR1100S  so just HD ... The LNB is a wideband with 2 cables

Hi,

Thanks for that ,  what I have read suggests I need a wideband LNB ,  which is what is on the dish anyway.

Guess changing to a narrowband LNB would be the easier option , cheers

hi @Steve160656 

You may have already found this out but the older LNBs used by your box and many other receivers are known as Universal LNBs.

BTW Technically they send approx 1/4 of the signal at any one time depending on the voltage & the presence or not of a 22KHz signal to provide Hi/low Bands &  H/V polarisation  (The wideband LNBs as per their name send both the High & Low Bands in one 'wide' band and use 2 cables - one for each polarisation)
