    I have an xtreme LNB but it can't be used for the DTH satellites (dish DirecTv) these satellites require a circular polarization LNB not a linear. You option would be a circular lnb only (if your using a pizza pan dish), a linear lnb wouldn't do you any good with a small dish as the signal strength on the linear satellites is much less than the DTH sats. I.E. the circular sats might have 110 watt transponders whereas many of the linear sats have 25 watt transponders. That's why the bigger dish is needed.

    I would say that the QPH-031 is a good Perform. It will also let you switch between Linear and circular polarization so you could do both. Plus it has duel outputs for both polarity's, so you could hookup two receivers. I am a newb myself, so my advice may prove worthless until someone else jumps in here to possibly correct me.
