ahoss2000 is on a distinguished road
LNBF questions

1. If I want to combine the linear and circular LNBF's outputs into one coax, would a Disqc switch work? The LNBF is Invacom QPH-031.

2. Does the standard LNB recieve the same number of channels as a universal LNB?

3. My Fortec Classic NA is attached to a Universal LNBF. If I use the Invacom linear output which is STANDARD LNB, do I have to re-scan to see all my present channels?

Thanks in advance.

1. Yes
2. Yes Diseqc switch is the type to use. Make sure your receiver is off every time you modify your cable attachments.
3. Probably not... you probably just have to change the input LNB type in the receiver setup.

Good luck

also a standard lnb won't received the channels with freq below 11700. you won't have to rescan just change your LO freq in your receiver.
