Sky hd lnb

[toptinker]

Hi I have a quad lnb feeds my sky hd 2 inputs and 2 inputs for my hd recorder. 1 of the inputs has gone. I have swapped over all the 4 cables so it looks like its just 1 of the inputs . Is it repairable ?

If you've traced the fault to the LNB, you need a new LNB. Sky should fix this but they may try and charge you £69 for a service call you may get a free service call if you are stroppy or are within warranty. New LNB's are cheap but unless you like heights you may want to leave it to someone else!.

What machine is the "hd recorder"?

 

[toptinker]

Cheers it's the panasonic blue ray and hdisc. Recorder it has 2 inputs

Very nice.
It's unusual for one output of a quad to go wrong, but it could happen and is easily fixed - if you really need to use all four tuners at the same time!

He did write "input" not "output" so why's everyone blaming the LNB, which has no inputs?

 

[toptinker]

you said its easily repaired how ? and yes it is the output of lnb cheers
i did swap all the 4 feeds around and its def just the 1 output

Check output connections for corrosion. Replace LNB and cable if you find any.

 

[toptinker]

cheers no corrosion whatsoever on fittings or cable. 2 cables are new ?

 

[MartinPickering]

Not On, *IN* the LNB outputs.

Not repaired - fixed, by having it replaced.
That's unless you find corrosion - or something loose - in the connections, and as I said it's only necessary IF you really want to use all four tuners at the same time.
