SETON’s Monoblock Ku-Band LNB Enables Seamless Dual-Satellite Reception for European Broadcaster

A European satellite TV provider was seeking a simplified solution for households to receive signals from two adjacent satellites—typically Astra 19.2°E and Hotbird 13°E—using a single dish. Traditional dual-LNB setups required complex alignment and cabling, resulting in higher installation costs and inconsistent performance.

SETON was selected to deliver a Monoblock Ku-Band LNB solution that would streamline installation, reduce maintenance, and ensure stable reception from both satellites.

• Dual-satellite reception required precise alignment and switching between orbital positions
• Installation complexity led to longer setup times and higher technician costs
• Signal stability was inconsistent in regions with weaker coverage or adverse weather
• Need for compatibility with standard DVB-S/S2 receivers across Europe

SETON provided its Monoblock Ku-Band LNB, engineered for seamless dual-satellite reception with a single dish. Key features included:

• Integrated dual-feed design: Supports reception from two satellites spaced 6° apart
• Built-in DiSEqC switching: Enables automatic satellite selection via receiver commands
• High Gain Performance: 52–65 dB gain ensures strong signal amplification across Europe
• Low Noise Figure: ≤ 0.3 dB for clear, stable reception even in fringe areas
• Universal compatibility: Works with standard European satellite receivers and 60–80 cm dishes
• Weather-resistant housing: Suitable for outdoor use across varied European climates

SETON also provided installation guides and remote support to help local technicians optimize alignment and switching.

• Installation time reduced by 40%, thanks to simplified one-dish setup
• Signal reliability improved, with stable reception from both satellites across target regions
• Customer satisfaction increased, as users gained access to more channels without additional hardware
• Positive feedback from European partner: “SETON’s Monoblock LNB made dual-satellite reception easy and reliable—perfect for our market.”

SETON’s Monoblock LNB is now widely deployed across Central and Eastern Europe, supporting dual-satellite reception in:

• Poland
• Hungary
• Czech Republic
