New Shaw Direct Quad XKU LNBF


Shaw Direct is introducing a new LNBF type, xKu, to replace the Quad LNBF for all residential installations. This lnbf is avaliable starting on June 24th, 2011 for both 60 cm 75 cm dishes.
This LNBF looks very similar to the Quad LNBF. To ensure that the LNBF being installed is of the xKu type, locate the label on the back of the actual LNBF.
The x Ku LNBF is capable of supporting signal from the third satellite, Anik G1, scheduled to come online in the fall, 2012. The new satellite will provide space for many new channels.
From the picture above, you will notice three lnbs. From left to right: The first in the right is the existing and now discontinue Quad LNB. The middle one is the x Ku Raven LNBF used for 60cm dishes. and the one in the far right, is the new lnbf used for 75cm dishes.
In order for these lnbs to be tune properly, please refer the the following link: X KU LNBF Tuning.

It is high priority that the skew is setup properly. Otherwise, you won't get the third satellite with the new channels.
If you are an existing customer, Shaw Direct, should be able to provide youwith an upgrade with a minimum charge or next to nothing once the new channels lineup are start coming up on 2012.
Last and not least, if you want to save hazzles in tuning this new LNBF, you are better off to call Shaw Direct toll free number at 1 888 554 7827.
