How do I apply that extension?

Depends on the receiver - it narrows the video bandwidth slightly.

@ Topper, the only hi band fta analogue signals are M2 on 13E and the Frenchies on 5W. All the others are on low band, and almost any old lnb should work with it.

Q ...Why did one have to buy a frequency shifter then in the blue cap days.....
A ...I thought it was because the old lnb's couldn't reach 12gb signals or has senility completely set in and I have imaged those little devices???? O-st

Because the receivers couldnt receive the Astra 1D band which was 10900 Mhz All the ADX's did was shift the freqs up 500MHz
