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".

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).
