    Help with Primestar Dish

    Help with Primestar Dish

    Hmm. Couldn't get any signal off the Hughes LNB/dish.. Had settings at: Single, LNB Power ON, 10750, No 220khz.. I got frustrated and put up my P* in the cold rain, got it lined up on G18 in no time. The P* are really some of the best antenna systems I've seen. The manual elevation...

    It's mesh.. Saw it in someones back yard on my commute home from work, stopped, and said I could have it.. I've got a Noaaport data feed on it, with the DMS421. It's got quite a few hail dents, (north texas). But it's working great.

    Iceberg, Does the LNB have a builtin switch? I'm supposing it does given that Hughes uses both H & V? I'm looking at putting another P* onine with it, and I have an external 4 way. I had planned to use two ports on the P* H & V ports. Savoy9020

    It dawned on me right after I posted this, that Hughes IS a KU band system.. Question, is the Hughesnet LNB (forget the transmitter) circular or linear? Can I use it as?

    Hughesnet Dish - can it be used for C/Ku?

    I've got a Hughes.net system that was in service as late as February, but not longer needed. It's large and has a HN7000 modem. Could I replace the LNB with a Ku or C band and get any use out of it here in the North Texas area? I've got a coolsat 6000 that I'm using with my 10' Channel...
