LNB Question

Hellrazer

My Sky dish has a quad LNB on it(at least its says quad lnb on the side of it)and Ive a question regarding connecting up a third sky box--two are used for the multiroom.

Im thinking of buying a box and ftv card on ebay or the likes and what I want to know is the following:

1.How hard is it to connect a third cable to the lnb itself?

2.Can I upset the signal by doing so?

3.Will the third box have to be connected to a phone line??

4.Whats the maximum length of Satellite cable that I can use in one piece-- (Third box is going into the conservatory so the cable lenght will be approx 60-80 feet)

5.What type of connections are on the LNB itself?

Thanks
Richie

1. not hard 2. only if you move the dish 3. no 4. 100m is usually the limit of ct100 5. f connectors

A plastic rain shield / cover Clicks up/down. Unlike single LNBs there should be no tape.

If you can't see the connectors just "click up" the cover.

If you can, then pull/click it down.
