    Hughesnet 1505328-0014 for FTA?

    Will the DirectTV LNB work with a FTA receiver or would I need a B-block converter? NOT looking to get any free DirectTV but would at least like to see some bars of signal from ANYTHING on the FTA receiver.

    Hughesnet 1505328-0014 for FTA?

    Spent several hours yesterday and only twice did I see a flicker of a change on the screen. It occurred so fast that I couldn't tell what it was that temporarily replaced the 0.0%. I did stay up until 11:03 PM or whatever it was when the moon was within a tenth of a degree of the azimuth of...

    Hughesnet 1505328-0014 for FTA?

Selecting "Signal finder" from the menu after choosing the satellite the antenna is aimed at, I get no signal at all. Thinking it might help, I dug out an old DirectTV HR10-250 TiVo and an 18" dish with triple...

    Hughesnet 1505328-0014 for FTA?

    Is there anything wrong with the $4.95 LNB from eBay seller cctv-superstore? Since I have a single-tuner receiver but do plan to eventually get a c band dish, is there a recommended dual band lnb you would recommend or is it better to buy one ku and later a c band?

    Hughesnet 1505328-0014 for FTA?

    Thanks! That makes sense. Maybe later on down the road there might be more FTA on Ka band in which case, I think I read somewhere that this LNB would require 30v so I guess one would have to rig up a circuit to power it with the higher voltage and filter out the voltage sent from the receiver...

    Hughesnet 1505328-0014 for FTA?

    I've seen conflicting information on the forum about using a Hughesnet antenna and LNB for receiving FTA. I've got a Hughesnet dish with a radio part number 1505328-0014 which I assume is both transmit and receive. I've read that a Hughesnet LNB can be used and that one just needs to unhook the...
