In March 2007, a new type of monoblock, called the Duo LNB was introduced by CanalDigitaal in the Netherlands for the simultaneous reception of Astra 19.2°E/Astra 23.5°E with a spacing of just 4.3 degrees.
Outside the UK, other public-service broadcasters, for example those of Switzerland, Austria (ORF) and the Netherlands (NPO via CanalDigitaal) run a similar scheme using different encryption methods.
