Hi, I am the op here and it is an old thread. Basically I asked questions on if I could use a ms and Quattro lnb on a Japanese satellite systems. I finally got a chance to ask a friend to test. It was a success except that he said on certain channels he saw some scrambles. He then researched and...

I ordered two from ebay the following lnb. Quattro HGLN 40mm LNB

Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to know.

hello, everyone. I am the op and I have some news to share and a very basic question to ask. As a33 suggested in this thread that it might be best if I use a quattro lnb for my system of Japanese stbs and ms, because a quattro lnb sends 10600h/10600v regardless(?) of the voltage provided by stb...

I think only the activated ms input would carry voltage. Not tested.

I have asked support at emp centauri about using splitters and ms together to achieve more stb setup. I asked if there will be issue if the 22k from one side of ms get sent to the other side and they said ms didn't care about the 22k. I assume it is the same for a zinwell. Therefore, I think...

In any case, I think I can use a zinwell ms and external voltage inserter as well as 11300 dual output lnb. I need to somehow block the voltage from the ms to the lnb, maybe through the use of dc-block splitters. That way 11300 lnb knows to send h or v to the respectively ms inputs by the...

I have attached the screen shots of all the allowed values to LOs in the patched s2. As far as I know, all quatro lnb have LO in 9750/10600. If only there were quatro lnb with lo of 10750, or 10720, then that would be perfect.

The satella s2 is indeed the one in your link. It's fta stb before the patch, or a firmware update. After a customised patch, it becomes a stb with "network" capability. The fta firmware one can set universal lo but after the patch, the ui becomes in Japanese only and lo is limited to certain...

Thanks for your reply. I think what you suggest is a good way to go. To use zinwell ms and quarto lnbs. It should work on most of the Japanese stbs. However, I have a stb called satella s2, which is like dreambox in Europe in its network "capability" and it doesn't allow changing LO to 10600...

It is KU-based, linear polarity, and high-band only. We can get single LNB that works on 11v/15v but no dual or quatro lnb. The standard lnb is 11200 LO for Japanese satellite system. Luckily the Japanese stbs allow setting LO to a customized value, say 11300, so I can use my modified EMP...

Thanks so much for your reply. Regarding your question: "Your MSs give up to 16 volt, but your LNB needs 18 Volts?" My stb sends 15v and the mono-block Japanese LNB that I modified also needs 15v. It is the regular dual LNB that needs 18v which I use with a modified EMP centauri MS with external...

Greetings, I haven't been to able to play around with the multi-receives system that I have since last time I reverted to the old setup, where I use a regular dual lnb with 11300 LO and a mod emp-centauri that switches on 11v/15v but sends 13v/18v to the lnbf. I have been carefully reviewed...

I think your second way will work, as I noticed in the attachment "lnb ms.jpg" It does say splitter should be 2 way one port power passing. Although I don't quite understand your logic in the last paragraph. I think you are also correct that 22k is causing my problem here with the use of all...

A33, I thought it is a good idea to use power pass splitter. If stb on ms1 is power off and not provide voltage to lnb, and I use DC-blocked splitter which blocks DC from ms2, stb on ms2 will not be able to watch, no? Zinwell 6x8 passes voltage from stb to lnb. I don't have an answer to your...
