[QUOTE="newboy45, post: 83343, member: 188342"] i have two universal LNBS the primary focussed on hotbird 13degrees and the second one at astra 19.2 degrees. i had to change one of them when i upgraded my analogue to digital receiver. as the rest of the mates have suggested i think this is more an LNB probllem. i would also suggest that if you are upgrading to a universal LNB look into the option of a twin LNB one that could receive both astra and hotbird. i am not sure about the requirement in hungary but in east midlands an 80cm dish is good enough to receive both astra and hotbird. the twin LNB was priced at £29 and a switch box cost £10 here. i did not need the twin LNB as one of my earlier LNB was a universal one If you are upgrading i think it would be worthwhile on looking at this option if the costs are comparable. you only need a switch box if you have only one input slot in your receiver. my previous pace analogue receiver had two LNB inputs hence i did not need a swich box. unfortunately the new manhattan 3300 ci digital receiver had only one input hence the switch box was necessary. you get loads of more channels from the hotbird and the ones you have mentioned i think are avilable on hotbird and are free to air transmisson good luck [/QUOTE]
