Could use some advice on the best Twin LNB for the purpose of setting up another satellite receiver box.
I have just acquired a second Fortec Star HD sat receiver and intend to put this one in the bedroom.
The other is currently in the lounge and operates via a single Thomson LNB from an older Sky dish.
I am not at all technical so wish to know the best Twin/dual lnb to buy at a sensible price to install and connect up both boxes, using separate cable feed for separate channel viewing.
Looking thro' Ebay has left me completely confused as to just what to buy.
Outbid yesterday on 2 Fortec Star dual LNB
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

I note that Maplin advertise both a Twin and a Dual LNB and I can't work out what the difference is.? Am I better to buy the Twin or Dual as opposed to the Sky Quad LNB.?

If it's a Sky minidish, then search for "Sky quad LNB", they are dirt cheap on ebay, they need to have the fitting as the one pictured below does.
