I prefer a receiver :-)

Does "universal LNB" mean the same as "linear LNB", or "universal LNB" is a superset of "linear LNB" ? What are "two band" ? I used to think 0khz is for 101, and 22khz is to select 110 (or 119) ? Thanks.

Bad luck ! Is that the "pencil" LNB 101, and the tall, rectangular LNB next to it is 99 ? I never see any LNB with this kind of shape. So there is no way I can get both 95 & 97 with 1 disk ? Is there anything like "wide-angle" LNB allow to get both birds ? I hate to install 2 such big...

I try hard to get both 95 & 97 on the same 87cm oval disk, using 2 LNBs. The disk points to 95, and I put 97's LNB on the right of 95's LNB (looking into the disk, from LNBs side). Two LNBs are next to each other. I get signal on 95 (of course, because disk aims at 95 !), but not 97...

Sorry, what do you mean by "conventional LNBF" ? I used to know only 2 types of LNBs: linear and circular. Conventional is something new to me. Why 4 degree is OK, but 2 is not ? I use do think the other way. If the satellites are close enough, then maybe we can use 1 LNB and get both birds...

Wow ! A lot of good info ! I am in US. Do you think it's possible to get both G3C (95) and IA5 (97) with one 30" disk + two linear LNBs ? Both sats are FSS, so I think they are weak.

Thanks guys ! I'm surprised to know that IA5 is almost as powerful as a DBS.

Is there any website list satellites (or transponders) transmitting power ? I wonder what is transmitting power of G3C (95), and of IA5 (97) ? Can we assume that all transponders (in same Ku band or in same C band) in 1 satellite have the same transmitting power ?

You can try the in-line amp, but I think probably you need an active amp. It has its own power source to supply itself and the LNB. Put it where nearest to the disk AND power outlet. The in-line amp uses receiver power, therefore makes matter worse. Flat coax is fine. Loss a little bit...

Thanks ! So can a D* system pick up 95 & 101 can also pick up FTA in Telstar5 97 (linear) ?

Thanks ice ! Lots of good info.

Thanks iceberg ! I have some follow-up questions: 1) For #2 question, do you mean you aim the dish at 95, not (91+95)/2=93 ? 2) Does it matter if you aim at 95, then put 2nd LNB on the left of main LNB (as you did), OR aim the dish at 91, then put 2nd LNB on the right of main LNB ? 3)...

Do you have any way/method to figure out like (assume 1 dish, 2 birds): 1) how far the 2nd LNB from the main LNB ? 2) If the main LNB point to 101, and I want the 2nd LNB pick up 95, I should place the 2nd LNB on the left of the main LNB (assume I stand in front of the dish, and look into the...

Thanks ! I will do that.

Hi, Can your guys help me ? I am a rookie in this area ! I currently use a 30" (76cm) WineGard dish and a SamSung DSR 3700 receiver to watch FTA program in Telstar 5 (97W). I also has a DirecTV receiver DSX 5350 from Phillips (I were a DirecTV subs, until 2 years ago, when I decided to...
