    You cannot add an extra LNB for the same sat position to ANY dish. Get a quad. €49.99 is a good retail price. The only way to connect more than 1 TV link to a box is to use a compatible distribution amplifier.

    Enlarging on what Rippy says: A 2nd LNB would pick up nothing or a different satellite.

    On larger dish with non-Sky systems this is done deliberately to allow more channels via a 2 way or 4 way Diseqc switch.
