I've got a dual output LNB I've been using with a pair of SkyStar2 cards
and recently I was playing with a bunch of STBs. Some of the STBs could
power the LNB and some of them wouldn't.

I then tried with some other 11300 and 10750 single output LNBs that point
at other satellites and I didn't have a single issue.

Hence I'm wondering if my dual output unit is on the way out.

If I did replace it the Lincrad unit about would be a good bet if you want
to play with H+V.
