    So. LNBs convert satellite frequencies to the lower, easier to transport, band of frequencies referred to as the L-Band. It is L-Band frequencies that the S75 receiver tunes to. Older systems used a unit called an LNA Low Noise Amplifier. This unit amplifies the RF frequency and then transmits the signals down a special (Expensive) cable to the reciever.
