Duo LNB

Combined reception from two ASTRA positions means more choice for European homes

The Duo LNB provides simultaneous access to ASTRA satellites at 19.2° and 23.5° east, using a single dish. The monoblock design makes it both easy to install and economical. There are two versions: the Twin for up to two set-top boxes, and the Quad for up to four.

Duo LNB

The 19.2°E slot is well known throughout Europe for extensive TV and radio choice, which includes more than 340 free-to-air and 30 HD digital TV channels. Over 41 million homes in 35 countries receive programming directly from 19.2° east.

Our new DTH position at 23.5° east is an emerging prime orbital slot that already offers exciting and varied content, particularly for the Dutch, Czech and Slovak markets.

Continuous growth potential

Our Duo LNB is the natural choice for these consumers and we are seeking active partnerships with manufacturers and trade associates to further drive development and demand.

The ASTRA 3B satellite will launch to 23.5°E in 2009. This will grow the market through an extended footprint, and add capacity and flexibility for DTH and DTC services.

Ready for the mass market

We have invested significant resources in ensuring high awareness and rapid take-up for the Duo LNB. It is already available in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Czech and Slovak Republics, and is supported by ASTRA and its customers with extensive trade and consumer marketing.
