   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

   A low-noise block downconverter (LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building.

3. Monoblock LNB - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoblock_LNB

   Two monoblock LNB can be connected to one receiving dish using Multi-satellite techniques. However, the expected results of such connections may vary or be sub-optimal. The results may yield low-level signals from some or all of the satellites or it may work well in certain geographically favorable locations.

   a Multiswitch with 16 outputs, the four cables from the Quattro-LNB enter on the left. A multiswitch is a device used with a dual or quattro LNB to distribute satellite TV signals to multiple (usually more than four) receivers from a single dish and LNB.

5. Television receive-only - Wikipedia

   The dish had to be pointed directly at the satellite, with nothing blocking the signal. Weaker signals required larger dishes. [4] [5] [6] The dishes worked by receiving a low-power C-Band (3.7–4.2 GHz) frequency-modulated analog signal directly from the original distribution satellite – the same signal received by cable television headends.

6. Single-cable distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-cable_distribution

   A mixer in the dish-end equipment (an LNB or distribution unit) converts the received signal to the correct user band IF centre frequency for that receiver. [3] The converted transponders of the various users are then combined, and sent via the single coaxial cable to the receivers. The combined signal is tapped or split to reach every user.

   TVRO systems tend to use larger rather than smaller satellite dish antennas, since it is more likely that the owner of a TVRO system would have a C-band-only setup rather than a K u band-only setup. Additional receiver boxes allow for different types of digital satellite signal reception, such as DVB/MPEG-2 and 4DTV.
