[QUOTE="cj&m, post: 348331, member: 249210"] Thank you, Rolfw and Analoguesat. I see now that the analogue receiver would think it had switched to high band even if, as I now realise, the AE23 LNB pointing at Astra 1 is low band only. The Digital receiver, interestingly, apparently produced a single set of channels on one transponder in the high band (12515 GHz) with an IF set to 10600, and another transponder (12663 GHz) with an IF set to 10750, both actually artifacts from low band Transponder 31 at 11671 GHz! However, further investigation appears to confirm that the UN011 LNB pointed at Hotbird is dual band as the channels received in the high band are genuine channels and not artifacts 'reflected' out of the low band. Having said that, I intend to replace both LNBs as I am sure that performance has moved on, and appreciate your recommendation. I am also assuming that 0.6dB noise should be adequate for the Astras with my 80 cm dish? PS If the Cambridge Platinum G57 is still being marketed, it must still be made somewhere - does anone know where, and by whom? PPS Has anyone a recommendation for a good and cheap DiSEqC switch for permitting my digital receiver access to one of the two LNBs - the PACE analogue receiver had two inputs and I have two cables down from the dish, but the digital receiver has only one input!
