I have now set up a couple of satellite TV systems using universal low

My question is which of the four LNB F sockets should be fed with power
by the Satlook meter? Obviously I have to choose one of the sockets to
connect to in order to align the dish. But which one? Or can it be any
socket? Can't find the answer to this either on Smart's site nor through
Google.

If a true quad-LNB, then I would think any. They are designed to
"look" like independent LNB's to the receiver so each receiver can
change band and polarisation.

Hmm ... maybe not so straightforward - seems that Quattro is different
to quad.

"Quattro universal LNB"
This has four fixed outputs and is used only in "head end" I.F.
distribution systems for apartment blocks. One LNB supplies a head end
unit that can provide (typically) up to 16 outputs for separate
Digiboxes. The four outputs of the LNB are as follows:-

1. Horizontal polarisation low band
2. Horizontal polarisation high band
3. Vertical polarisation low band
4. Vertical polarisation high band

You should not connect any of the outputs, 1 - 4, directly to a
receiver unless you want to restrict viewing to just one of the four
options.
