A satellite dish is a dish-shaped type of parabolic antenna designed to receive or transmit information by radio waves to or from a communication satellite. The term most commonly means a dish which receives direct-broadcast satellite television from a direct broadcast satellite in geostationary orbit .
A quattro LNB has a single feedhorn and four outputs, which each supply just one of the K u sub-bands (low band/horizontal polarization, high band/vertical polarization, low/vertical and high/horizontal) to a multiswitch or an array of multiswitches, which then delivers to each connected tuner whichever sub-band is required by that tuner.

Devices designed for Enigma2 (i.e. satellite receivers, set-top boxes and IPTV receivers, often simply called boxes) are equipped with one or more DVB-S, DVB-C and DVB-T tuner(s) (unless they are pure IPTV receivers), a Remote control receiver and an Ethernet and/or Wi-Fi network adapter. To receive coded/scrambled programs the box may be ...
Dish Network (DISH) -- and its subscribers -- dodged a bullet this week. The country's second largest satellite television provider has secured a deal with Gannett (GCI) to continue broadcasting ...
A practical problem relating to home satellite reception is that an LNB can basically only handle a single receiver. [19] This is because the LNB is translating two different circular polarizations (right-hand and left-hand) and, in the case of K-band, two different frequency bands (lower and upper) to the same frequency range on the cable.

Another adoption barrier for monoblock LNBs with 16 satellites positions is the need for a special shape of antenna dish, which restricts the market potential. Using DiSEqC 1.1 7-8 satellites positions from 24° spacing could be addressed and received with a lot of success by standard size and shape dish in some densely populated areas across ...
Remote control - Remote control receivers receive digital commands that control a device, which may be as complex as a space vehicle or unmanned aerial vehicle, or as simple as a garage door opener. Remote control systems often also incorporate a telemetry channel to transmit data on the state of the controlled device back to the controller.
