    Well maybe not really that much of a newbie, but here's my question someone gave me a direct tv kit complete with receiver and dish. Well this satelllite guy tells me that I can get a pansat 2700A and connect it to a single LNB Direct Dish, althought the kit came with an Eagle Aspen Direct TV...
