Azbox HD Premium Plus โ LNB Configuration
The Azbox HD Premium Plus allows you to configu re you r TWIN DVB-S2 tuners into 3
modes.
To change the mode pr ess the Home button, select:
11. Settings ๎ TV Channel ๎ Tuner A. DVB-S
and press the left or right a r row to change mode.
Mode 1: Separated (default mode)
In this configur ation both tune rs a re completely sepa rated, meaning that you manually
need to configure and scan for each tuner.
You typically need to use this configuration, when you receive totally different satellites
on each tuner.
Your channel list will clearly mention Tuner-A and Tuner-B close to the different
channel names.
Mode 2: TWIN
In this configur ation you receive exactly the same satellites with the same antennas
configuration but on 2 sepa r ated cables. For example you have a Monoblock LNB with
multiple exits, or you have an external DiseqC switch with multiple exits.
In this setup the Azbox automatically handles the switch from tune r-A to tuner-B when
needed. Fo r example you start reco rding a TV program you can zap and the Azbox will
switch to tuner-B for you. It is t ranspa rent for you.

Mode 3: Loop through
In this configur ation you have only one cable that come from you r LNB (Antenna) to
your Azbox and you loop through both tuner (Out of tuner-A is connected to In of
Tuner-B). In this setup, the Azbox handles both tuners (so you donโt have to care about
tuner-A or B) but it has disadvantages.
The LNB way of working can be summarize in the table below:
Vertical Horizontal
Low Bandwidth
V/Low H/Low
High Bandwidth
V/High H/High
With the loop through mode you are stuck into one of the cell of the table above.
For example if you look at a channel in High Bandwidth on Vertical polarity you can
only watch channels with the same characteristic on the same satellite.
So this method is quite restrictive but most of the TV providers (packages) t ry to keep
all their channels in the same, bandwidth/polar ity to allow you to use the loop th rough
mode.
Azbox will show you to which channels you can zap by keeping the icon highlighted:
otherwhise the satellite icon will be greyed out:
