LNB upgrade

May seem like a daft question but;

Want to add a receiver to my existing install, so I gather from what I've read here that I need to add another feed from my LNB.

Just looked at it and found to be single output so;

Q. is it easy to swap out the LNB for a dual or quad or is there any realignment to be carried out?

Thanks

added:

Also the dish is a squashed elliptical type does this mean it's a 'sky' dish so requires sky LNB?

Assuming it's a skydish, disconnect the cable, pull out the retaining pin, remove old stick in new and connect. If you are carefull you should not need to realign but sometimes the extra weight causes the lnb arm to sag a little more. A fractional increase in elevation should sort this out. Don't bother with a twin, quads are much easier to source and cost very little more.
