Bronze Member Username: RohitkamahiPost Number: 26 Registered: May-06 | I have an Eliptical dish with 2 lnbs. Would it be possible to catch DN or BEV with that dish? I got it for free from a friend of mine and he was using the dish for Star Choice. Thanks a lot in advance. |

I believe it was LK who did a very good job of explaining the difference between linear and circular LNB's We need a circular for B3V and D1##net. St^^choice uses the linear. |

I would say yes, provided you have 2 things: (1) Bogus is correct on the LNBs. You MUST have circular lnbs for DN & BEV KU band satellites (2) The eliptical dish would need to be big enough: at least 18" but prefer 20". And then it still depends where you are in North America. If the dish already has linear lnbs then it would be a pain to fix circular ones. Dishes are dirt cheap second hand - even on fleabay. Try garage sales and newspaper ads too. Under $50 with dual lnbs. |
