Whats the difference between a quad and a quatro lnb? I want to use it for multi room viewing for different receivers. Which is better?. I tried one, its and interstar quad, I noticed after installing it that my fortec star 5100 Ulta does not get signal on some transponders that it use to get. But the Interstar and skysatr2 are ok with it. I checked the lnb settings on the receiver, adjusted and readjusted but no luck. Anybody has any ideas that could help plse?

The Quad LNB has four universal outlets, in the UK, a Quattro has four outlets, but they are one vertical, one horizontal, one vertical high and one horizontal high, these are designed for a multiswitch.

The biggest problem is the common usage syndrome, whereby if enough knuckleheads call someting by the wrong name for long enough, it becomes accepted.

This means the quad is the ideal one for fedding different receivers and getting equal signal.

Yes, but of course there are some better than others.

Got one on e bay the other day for £10 New for my sky receivers. Raven make works well. Got a Thompson one that would not work right at all.
