Currently, the only real potential fix for this is to ensure that the terrestrial TV and satellite signals are split into separate cables. As we all get more experience with these new devices, I hope that more solutions will present themselves. Solutions for Diplexed, Triplexed, and Quadplexed Wall Plates Important to note that a Quadplexed wall plate is just a triplexed wall plate with an extra straight through connection with no filtering on the ‘Sat 2’ side.
Some Sky digiboxes, however, do not have particularly sensitive tuners. Not a problem in the UK but LNBs without a feedhorn built-in are usually provided with a (C120) flange around the input waveguide mouth which is bolted to a matching flange around the output of the feedhorn or polarizer unit. Although a Quattro and Quad LNB both have 4 outputs, a Quattro LNB differs in the sense that it supplies the four satellite bands separately over the four cables whereas a Quad LNB switches between them all of all the cables.This means that when installing a Quattro LNB, it can’t be connected directly to a satellite receiver. It must be connected to a multi-switch amplifier with separate VL, VH, HL and HH inputs where the switching instead takes place and the cables must not be mixed from the LNB and the input of the amplifier. By using this concept only four cables need to be installed between the satellite dish and multi-switch amplifier concept can be extended to serve hundreds of satellite TV points.

But as always a hard mains reset and a 'first time install' to correctly identify the attached cables/LNB type may be needed.
LNB Outputs
In an earlier blog post, I mentioned that Arris was given the manufacturing rights for all of the third-generation Freesat models. This seems to indicate that the company’s competitors (such as Humax) won’t be making boxes anymore. However, it’s worth noting that these new models will require a wideband LNB to be installed on your dish. If you have Sky Q, these should be similar to what you currently use. At the same time, some customers will be able to use a Hybrid LNB with two wideband outputs as well. It was relatively common to combine satellite TV signals and terrestrial TV services onto the same cable(s), this meant that far less coaxial cabling could be required within a TV system and the signals would typically be separated by a diplexed/ triplexed/ Quadplexed wall-plate. There are several reasons why this will no longer work with the new range of Freesat boxes. The main reasons are: Your situation reminded me of when the previous flaky old Eurobird satellite was at 28.5E and the signal was always the weakest of the satellites at that cluster that gave out in heavy rain or snowfall. Fear not as below as I describe in greater detail below and I have suggested some solutions to these problems. On the Costa Blanca an incorrectly skewed LNB can result in the loss of the weaker North beam frequency transponders on Astra 2A and Astra 2B. A well done installation will ensure that the LNB skew is correct so that the North beam channels are not loss or loss is kept to a minimum.
As discussed above the frequency range used by the wideband LNB conflicts with terrestrial TV services. This means that they can’t be combined on top of one another, although this is possible with dSCR signals and Sky Q. The combined style wallplates, diplexed, triplexed etc accept coax cables with the signals already combined and separate them ready to be connected to your equipment. The main reasons these will not work with the wideband LNB is: If you have several different Freesat boxes serving different televisions in your home, you will need to disconnect your Quad or Octo LNB in favor of a Wideband model. Of course, this will cause those additional boxes to stop working. The only exception is Sky Q minis, which can pull a wireless signal from the main box. Quatro LNBs have 4 outputs and they are all different. Quatro LNBs can only be used with multiswitches.Satellite Glossary". SatUniverse.com. Archived from the original on July 16, 2011 .

i.e. the Universal Feed and the Invacom feed, here you should use the C120 flange LNB which fits the Prime Pull additional coax cables so that the two satellite bands from the wideband LNB and terrestrial TV/ radio services are delivered separately.

signal actually getting through, a bigger dish will collect more signal and compensate for the problem. There is another type of connection that is common on many generic FTA receivers but is not commonly used because of the LNB switching system, which is the Sat-out connection which is another female F connection that looks exactly the same as a twin tuner, albeit with different labelling. This isn’t actually an input, but is an output connection which is designed to be fed onto other satellite TV receivers, like many pieces of terrestrial TV equipment does. The obvious problem with this type of system with a universal LNB is that the “looped” signal will only make available one quarter of the services according to which satellite band that the first satellite receiver has selected. This effectively creates a master/ slave relationship where you would have to select a channel on the main receiver to be able to receive a desired channel on the “slave” satellite receiver. Sometimes, but rarely, LNBs develop a fault. Typically, this may mean that you can’t get any channels, or you can only get channels from one polarity (Horizontal-only, or Vertical-only). there is mostly a light or cloudy sky and so white against the sky blends in very well. The second reason is more technical. Important to note that separating half the channels down each connecting coax cable is not the only mechanism that is used to prevent the need for LNB switching. It also achieves by oscillating down to a frequency range greater than the satellite IF band which universal LNB’s use, it does in fact oscillate the signals down and right over the top of the part of the UHF spectrum that is used by terrestrial TV services like Freeview and some telecommunication frequencies like 4G all the way down to 300Mhz.
