My System: sAT.: EechostarDVB 1000Ci2 (no 7 tears old and faulty), one Analogue receiver threshold -3dB, even older but still in good working order, 3.6m mesh dish with positioner, California feedhorn with mech. polarizer and C- and Ku- Band LNBs. PC1 P4 2.2GH
combined C- & Ku- Band LNB

I read, there is a feedhorn with flanched-on LNBs for C- & Ku Band available, type (DB) S621-2.
Anybody any practical experience with it?
C-Band LNB has no noise figure given, only gain (65dB, normal).
Ku-Band LNB: noise 0.3 dB, not bad, gain?
Change-over via DiSEqC 2x1 (what does 2x1 mean?),

Feed-back would be appreciated.

BSC 621-2 has C-band noise figure of 13K . The DiseqC switch permits just one co-axial cable to be connected, allowing for switching between C & Ku bands. Very neat !

thanks renibacterium.
Any practical experience? Is it for a stationary dish or motorized (skew?) dish,
could I connect onto each LNB a separate receiver, e.i. not using the DiSEqC switch?

My System: I use a 1.2 Gregorian dish connected to four receivers including a scopus 4.2.2 professional ird2800 and Echostar3600 and two blind scan rx's. My lnb is a quad invacom. All rx's are linked to my packard bell easy one silver laptop.

This Yuri one is better than the BSC621 on Ku Band, as it has a seperate Ku LNB offset by 3 degrees from centre. It allows you to use a depolarising slab on the C Band LNB without screwing up your Ku reception. I have imported this from Oz..it works very well
