I've gone farther and farther afield, a number of US distributors and dealers, Sadoun. Most recognize the part externally but say they have not had the old style for quite a while. It appears that the dielectric depolarizers are the older design and the new ones are all based on the cast wedge...

Beating the Dead FSS Horse Just wanting to clarify something. You have converted polarities of DishPro LNBF's (DBS type Circular Polarization but w/Band Stacking) not just the DishPro FSS LNBF's (FSS type with Linear Polarization but w/Band Stacking for picking up 105 or 121)??? I...

No Modifiable LNBF is Distribution in Pacific Northwest I've checking in with several distributors in the Pacific Northwest and none have the style shown in the right side of the picture. One pointed to another F-Connector difference. The blue dialectric being Dish Networks current standard...

Pendragon: All the LNB's my distributor shipped me are of the stepped plate kind (the left ones in your picture). Been trying to find a DishPro PN: 151019-NS but find a distributor up here stocking them. (ideas?) The case on mine is quite wide on the neck, basically wouldn't work on the...

Why Reversed with a Toroidal A common question but the answer is looking you in the mirror. The circular polarized signals greatly simplified installation as they no longer required on axis vertical and horizontal alignment of the LNBs like Linear polarized signals. You can basically aim the...

Part Number mispoken Yes, I was getting the DN128 LNBF mixed up with SAT 129. You refer to the DPP single LNBF, I think you're referring to the DP (DISH Pro) LNBF. The DPP (DISH Pro Plus) LNBF such as the DP Plus 1000.2 LNBF has an integrated stacked LNBF with a Dish Pro Plus switch. I have...

Photo of opened DishPro LNBF (DN128) Here is a photo of what I'm talking about.

Pendragon: We have a problem. Picked up 3 Dish Pro dn128 LNBF to do the conversion but the throat only has a cast aluminum polarity splitter. Kind of a triangular stepped plate with 2 antennas on either side that are on two circuit board fingers that approach the splitter plate. :mad...

Is there a special LNBF for 118.75 that will allow you to feed into the LNB In port on the DISH Pro Plus 1000.2 LNBF? Tried a 3rd party LNBF but it confuses the 622 so have to switch back and forth. I suspect the 1000.2 is looking for a band-stacked LNBF like a Dish Pro but for the specific...

You're right, of course. Just getting up to speed. The DishPro Plus LNBFs are just a dual or triple config. I mistakingly thought you required DPP LNBFs as well to use DPP receivers. I now know the DPP 44 can work with DishPro LNBFs. In this scenario (DP LNBSs -> DPP44 -> DPP compatible Dual...

You're referring to DishPro LNBFs not DishPro Plus LNBFs right? Once the mod is done, and the signal sent through a switch I'm still going to have to run two lines to a dual tuner box the the 722 or 922 right? Wouldn't I need DishPro Plus LNBFs to make it work over single run to tuner (the Plus...

Thanks for the advice, sometimes I can get to close to the problem to recognize a simple alternative. Just to clarify a point. Since DishPro LNBFs are circular polarized LNB's and not linear polarized, you mean flip the dielectric polarizer over, not rotate 90 degrees, right? Would this still...

A multi-part question: Is their a practical way to get a T-90 Toroidal to work with Dish Pro (band stacked) or Dish Pro Plus (Double Stacked?) compatible receivers? (i.e. Is there an external bandstacker available that is compatible? Or does one have to try using modified Dish bandstacking...
