I would like to increase my quad LNB

[JMW]

Currently have a 1.8 dish with quad invacom lnb. I need more feeds from the dish as I share with a neighbour and we both would like 3 or 4 each. Is it possible to get and lnb with 6 instead of 4 or even 8 without getting too complicated with the installation side? Thanks

You can get octos no problem. Once you get past that you need a proper distribution system

You may need to factor in the difference in performance between Octo LNb's. Some work better than others, could be critical in CB with a 1.9m.

Octos are very reasonable on, for example, eBay UK as they're quite in demand with so many sky HD digiboxes in people's homes. In Spain they're fiendishly expensive as they're a bit of a luxury!

Yes but be careful as most of those will tailored for the $ly minidishes and will not work well on regular dishes. You need to make sure that it specifically states suitable for a regular satellite dish and does NOT state it's for minidihes.

If you're not sure, send the seller a message.

Is your existing LNB a C120 with separate feedhorn? If it is, you may need to go for a quattro LNB and multiswitch to maintain performance.

Actually don't know!! Will try to find out though, thanks.

Can always upload an image of the dish and we can advise you.

Have looked at the dish and doesn't appear to have anything that looks like a feedhorn - just the quad lnb thanks.

If the dish has 3 support arms holding a centrally mounted LNB you have got a feedhorn and do require a quattro LNB and a multiswitch if you want to go above four outputs.

The other option is keep the quad and buy a multiswitch that works with a quad.
