The LNB is the signal amplifier attached to the satellite dish. If you wish to replace it, there are a few points to bear in mind. In this practical tip, we’ll tell you what’s important when replacing it.
Replacing the LNB – things to bear in mind
If you experience a fault or poor reception whilst watching TV, you should replace the LNB on your satellite dish.
- When buying a new LNB, make sure it has enough ports. You can choose between one, four, six or eight ports, depending on your needs.
- Once you’ve got your new LNB, it’s time to replace it.
- Take care not to move the dish if at all possible, as otherwise you may lose your channels.
- Carefully unscrew the screws from the old LNB and carefully remove the cables.
- Now fit the new LNB into the bracket and secure it with the screws.
- Finally, you need to tighten the cables and ensure that all the screws are secure.
- Check whether you now have a clear picture again. If this is not the case, you will need to realign your satellite dish.
