What happens when I replace the LNB in my dish?

In addition, a faulty power supply can produce high frequency oscillations that switch the LNB to high-band, causing intermittent loss of low-band channels. It may even make a second Digibox misbehave. In short, you may see unpredictable effects. Replacing the standard LNB with a heavier one tends to bend the dish arm slightly.

What do I need to replace my Minidish LNB cable?

You may need a suitable spanner (10 mm or 11 mm). Fit the new LNB to the hollow dish arm (using the adapter provided if necessary.)
