I read somewhere that with this LNBF, the polarity is controlled by voltage and not a servo motor. So, how would this unit change polarity with a regular analog C/KU band TVRO receiver (mine is a Uniden UST-4800). Thanks for your help. Basically, what I am wanting is an all-in-one LNB that will work for both TVRO C/KU and FTA C/KU. |
Most of the newer (ie less than 15 years old) analog receivers can control either a polarotor or a voltage controlled LNBF. I'm not familiar with the 4800 though. I have a UST 6000, which is about 18 or 19 years old, and it won't control an LNBF, so you'd have to slave like Steve said. But I think that the 4800 is newer than the 6000, so there is a good chance it would work. Either way, you'll probably be slaving on receiver to the other, so it doesn't matter too much.
