The difference between a QUAD LNB and QUATTRO LNB

The difference between a QUAD LNB and QUATTRO LNB


LNB stands for Low Noise Block Downconvertor. The LNB converts high frequencies down to lower frequencies - hence the "downconvertor". This conversion by the LNB is required to enable a satellite receiver to decode the signal into video and audio, because the frequencies transmitted by a satellite are too high to be decoded by a set-top box.


There are different types of LNB, (offset, prime focus, Ku and KA band), as well as differences in the number of ports an LNB can have.


There are single port LNBs, as well as twin (two), quad (four) and octo (eight).


But there are also QUATTO LNBs which sometimes are confused with QUAD LNBs.

Channels Five changes on satellite - August 2015

Channel Five had operated five versions of Channel Five, for advertising purposes.

The five Channel Five regions were London, South/Central England and Wales, Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which enabled advertisers to target specific regions.

However, it appears that on the 1st August 2015, advertising on these five versions is the same.

So all five regional variations of Channel 5 serving different parts of the UK on satellite are now simulcasting the same content.

Channel Fives new owners Viacom considers running these five regional variations financially unviable.

So what is happening to the five Channel Five versions on satellite?
