In 1998 Eutelsat persuaded manufacturers MTI and Zinwell to develop the so called monoblock LNB. This is not more than two LNB’s and a antenna switch integrated into one housing. This way there is only one cable between the Dish (LNB) and receiver. Here you have LNB settings for Echostar satellite receivers with a monoblock - Hotbird and Astra 1.

For installation with a DiSEqC 1.2 and fixed dishes with Echostar DSB-707, DSB-808, DSB-1200, DSB-2200, DVR-5000

In this example I have connected 4 Ku/C-Band LNB for 4 satellites with Echostar D-2510 IP, D-2510 IP Viaccess, AD-3000IP or AD-3000IP Viaccess. Maximum is 8 LNB's (4 Ku band and 4 C band - 4 dish).

In this example I have connected 8 universal LNB for 8 satellites with Echostar D-2510 IP, D-2510 IP Viaccess, AD-3000IP or AD-3000IP Viaccess.

In 2007 the Netherlands took canal digital manufacturers are about to the so-called DUO LNB monoblock, develop. This is nothing more than a monoblock with 4.3 degrees in which two LNB's and a antenneschakelaar are integrated. It is performed in a flat dish an extra LNB placed, representing an adjacent satellite can be received. This approach is - thanks to the relatively low cost - has become especially popular for receiving Astra 1 (19.2 East) and Astra 3 (23.5 East).

This way there is only one cable between the Dish (LNB) and receiver. It was intended for models which you could connect 1 receiver to, nowadays there are models for 2 (twin) or even 4 receivers (quad).

The regional broadcasters, which from november on Astra-1 (19.2 East) to see, move per 1.9.2007 to the Astra-3 at 23.5 East, the schotelbezitter his installation to adapt to both positions to be received. For both positions performed with a fixed dish to receive sufficient exchange of the LNB for a monblock. Choose However, the correct model!
