What quad LNB for sky dish for Freesat?

Sorry if this is a repeat question?

I currently have a sky digi dish and single feed LNB, Raven RAV BJ21.

I am looking to fit a Humax FoxSat pvr.

Can somebody advise what quad LNB I need to replace the existing single feed version that will be a direct replacement into the square tube arm

I take it that I can run the Humax with the existing single feed LNB but I would not be able to record as well, or do you need the two cables to run

Just ensure you buy a quad lnb for a sky minidish which is straight replacement. You can record two programmes with a single feed and even watch a 3rd but with some restrictions as to what you can record and watch at the same time. To do this you need a short length of coax with a f connector on each end to connect tuner 1 out to tuner 2 in. If you install a hdr this way as a temporary measure don't forget to do a factory reset after fittinmg the second cable as it won't know it's there otherwise.

Personaly I would just by a dish and LNB complete.
The full kit and cables etc on ebay is under £30.
So you could probably get the "Dish/Quad LNB" for less.
