Odd LNB

Before bell tv there was bell expressvu and before that there was expressvu dish network canada (1996-1997). They were using a ku linear satellite before moving to dbs. The dish was 24” with the lnb that you have in the pictures. Shaw direct ( star choice ) satellite dishes and lnbs can also be used for ku fta. There was even a company back in 1996 that didn’t last long called alphastar was broadcasting on 97 both canadians and us tv channels. It was the only pay satellite tv company allowed to sell their services in both canada and the us.

It looks a lot like the linear LNB I recently stuck a dielectric plate into to get 11.7-12.2 circular. No wonder it was so easy.
