Satellite Dish and LNB
A satellite dish - or antenna-  receives signals from the satellite.
These signals are collected by the dish and focused onto the LNB (Low-noise block converter), which is located at the end of an arm directly in front of the dish. The signals are then transferred from the LNB to the receiver via a cable.
To receive all the services from Home2US, you will need a dish of minimum 30 inches (75cm) fitted with a universal LNB. If you have a satellite receiver with two tuners, or want to receive services on more than one TV set, you will need a ‘twin’ or ‘quad’ LNB. However, the closer you are to the outside edge of the satellite footprint (the geographical area covered by the satellite beam - think of an enormous flashlight beam projected onto a distant wall), the larger the dish you'll need.
