Does it have a 10700 dual lnb?
Leroy
Sorry for the newbie question. I have at home a Foxtel IQHD satellite dish and box. I have just purchased a boat with a Raymarine STV 37 dish and decoder. Raymarines website states that the dish has dual LNBs and the IQHD box requires two inputs. What I want to do is take my home IQHD box on the boat, and my question is do I need to adjust the dish to work with Foxtel. At the moment the box picks up the commercial channels only on the single cable currently installed on the boat. I will run the second cable if your collective wisdom suggest it will work.
Thanks in advance

What commercial channels are you receiving on it?
What receiver are you using for the commercial channels?
I have doubts how well it would work regardless, as according to the specs, the dish is only 37cm and the minimum dish size used for Foxtel is 65cm... and that's in good signal areas.
As Leroy mentioned, for Foxtel, you need an LNB with a LO frequency of 10700MHz (10.7GHz).
The Raymarine dishes typically use universal LNB's which can't be used with Foxtel receivers.
easy answer is yes and yes
yes its a 10700 lnb and yes all you need to do is run the second cable and if you still want to run the vast box then run the second cable install a 4 way multiswitch and run two cables to the iq and a third to the vast decoder
just be mindful iqs try to find fta channels so will take forever to boot up on a boat as it cant be turned off dont panic just wait an it will come on
and a 40cm works in hobart and even at port davey on a cloudy day but dont expect to be watching it in any sort of a swell but are fine at anchor

Many thanks aaeon.1, I am receiving the Sydney commercial stations thru the Foxtel IQHD box, no VAST box connected. I've had a 37cm dish in the past in Sydney on another boat and Foxtel (IQ1 with one cable) and it worked fine. I'll run the second cable and see what happens. Worst case I will need to fiddle with the lnd alignment!
Thanks again
