Hello
Just bought the newish 4k Freesat box and a 2 wideband 4 universal hybrid LNB. I don’t want to change the humax box in the lounge until Christmas so will need the 6 universal connections, will the wide band signal work in my original freesat humax 1100s box as I want to fit the new hybrid LNB now, I need the 4 universal connections for my two other Humax 1100s boxes.

Unfortunately no, the Humax boxes are not compatible with wideband LNB outputs. However the 4K box will work with the universal LNB currently in use but you'll only be able to record a maximum of two channels simultaneously. Then change the LNB at a later date.

Great thanks very much.
