Is the Digibit Twin incompatible with a Wideband LNB?

I was planning on splitting the satellite signal between the Sky Q box and a Digitbit Twin for Sat>IP to the rest of the house for Freesat so I plugged the two cables into my Digibit Twin and did a scan in TVHeadend but even though it picked up lots of Sky channels including some unencrypted ones it did not pickup any of the Freesat channels. Just wondering if this is something built into the Sky dish/lnb or I am doing something wrong?

Does the Digibit Twin have a wideband tuner with a I.F. frequency range of 290–2340 MHz over separate H and V cables? SkyQ uses this range. Legacy Sky and other satellite receivers use the 950–2150 MHz range in a single cable.

If it doesn't have a wideband tuner only a small slice of channels, Horz or Vert in the 950–2150 MHz range will be available.

Thanks. I struck out looking for that info because it's a German product and all the docs are in German but I'm guessing that is the case since I'm not seeing them.

This Johansson 9725 wideband converter is an option, converts the 2 wideband feeds to 2 legacy outputs suitable for your setup

Thanks for the info. I tried buying it from the Eurosat site but it requires me to register and when I enter my details I never get anything back from them. (Checked spam folder too) 😑
