[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 5888, member: 175144"] None of the new receivers on the market will support polariser systems Ditch the Irte polariser immediately - As the frequency increases through the feedhorn, there is an inverse relation between the drive current and the amount of skew that is provided with a ferrite type system. As you scan a satellite using the set up as it is from 10.7Ghz to 12.75 Ghz you will find that the receiver will be unable to locate almost 70% of all channels available The quad LNB requires 13/18 volts as its band switching system so you would have to disable the function in the LNB install menu when it comes to polarity switching, not easy. It can be done and you would need to replace the polariser with a mechanical type with three wires, (this is where it starts getting expensive and difficult to track down), then slave the band voltage from another source, I use the Winersat 906 to do this and slave the signal to the digital box Best to go get a Universal LNB that will fit directly onto the existing feedhorn of your moving dish (flange type or C120 - about £20 tops), then youre ready to go. If the feed does not come away from the Irte polariser through corrosion then soak it in WD40 for an hour or two and use mole grips on the small bolts [/QUOTE]
