I will be getting my roof redone, so I will finally be able to get at the dish. It was installed higher then my ladder could reach anyways. Hopefully it will work on 97w can I use the lnb that is on it, or do I need a different one?
 
Not everybody may understand your question.
The DishNet eastern arc dish is a little small, and would need a new LNBF, but should get you much of 97 west.
At least on dry days. ;) :up
There should be a thread on the mod around here somewhere.

I won't recommend it to the inexperienced, but if you are careful and pay attention, you can have success.

edit: I think it was member polgyver who recently described such a conversion while on vacation in Miami.

Newbies always should go to a 1 meter to start out with than a DN dish or directv slimline dish reason is it takes some time to get those to work right. We are here to help just ask around we can help.

I can vouch for 72w just a quick 5 minute swap to a linear lnb and matching bracket. Instant nbc 71-72 quality in northeast pa near Allentown

Not to mention if you get one second-hand, the dish or arm could be beat up. I finally gave up on a World Direct dish because not only was the lnbf bad, but the arm was bent way out of shape, too. Uff.

Yeah thanks for pointing that out, unfortunately I can't seem to edit my post to fix it. At least everything is intact and still in good shape, so I can maybe go off of how things are pointed with the old one.
