well after getting it and letting it sit here in the house I decided to try it out. This is the item I'm working with

and after checking it out I can sum it up in 3 words (well a few sentences with 3 words)
"save your money"
"not worth it"
"piece of crap"
catching my drift
so I climb on my roof and remove my old DirecTV single LNB and hook this up. Come inside and move the dish to 119...nothing. No signal. Now I know the dish is aimed right. Try 118.7...nothing. So I climb back up on the roof and put it back how I had it.
So now I figure "lets try it on a fixed 119/123 dish". I know (again) that all I should do is switch out LNB. Swapped LNB and brought up 119
nothing
selected a KU satellite and let it blind scan. It did hit the H polarity stuff so I checked the signal..........10-12 quality. So I took that off and set it up on the T90 for 110 and let it blind scan....nothing....no DBS
So I decided to do what any normal satguy would do. I ripped the thing apart and punched a hole in the LNB eye to see what was inside. Much to my amazement (nah, not really. I kinda was expecting this), the LNB is very crappily made. Instead of a clear liquid to seal the stuff in its white. Cut around the LNB eye and there is a little piece of plastic jammed in there and what looks like elmers glue holding it in. Cut that piece out and hooked it up to the T90 on a linear sat
guess what? Works perfect. So this LNB is pretty much a linear LNB with a circular piece hap-hazardily inserted and sold to people thinking it would work. Well I can attest it doesn't work and I couldnt even get the "you have a dish at 118.7" test card.
sorry a couple pictures look blurry. But on the bright side I do have a dual LNB now on 79W
