Your satellite installation type may be Single Cable Distribution, Fixed Antenna, or DiSEqC.
Single Cable Distribution enables delivery of programmes to multiple receivers over a single coaxial cable. Each receiver or tuner is allocated one user ‘band’.
DiSEqC installations allow you connect to multiple satellite dishes or LNBs if you have them. You can select between them using the TV control.
Fixed Antenna is usually the simplest installation type, in which there is one satellite dish and LNB.
