    Dual vs single LNB

    I've was given a dual LNB to replace my suspect single. I'm going to connect one of the outlets to my receiver and, I suspect, either one will do. But what do I do with the other? ...do I need to terminate it, since it will be unused? If so, what impedance do I use?
    Thanks a load,
    Ron

    Just put a plastic cap or similar on it to keep the weather out.

    You can cap it if you'd like. Its not required
    Otherwise, your local radio Shack has the terminators. Another option is just put a connector on the unused port and fill the connector with silicone to keep out moisture
