Folks;
I just moved to New Mexico with my Nfusion HD receiver. The apartment I'm in has a Direct TV dish that the last occupant left. The dish appears to be pointed South with an elevation of about 50 degrees. The dish appears to have 3 LNB's on a bar but there are only 2 coax cables. The LNB in the middle looks different from the ones on either end.
My main question is: What are the LNB LO frequencies? Also I am assuming that they are circular polarized, Ku Band, Universal LNB's.
I want to use this dish for FTA international broadcasts on other satellites so I'll be pointing it elsewhere once I can get it setup on the sats it is currently pointed at for Direct TV.
So without having to worry about pointing the dish at the moment my only problem is setting up all the parameters for the receiver.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Warren

Here's what I have
Thanks for the URL. I went outside now that it's daylight and looked at the dish and was able to check out the bar that holds the LNB's. I have the newer model below.
AU9-SL3 Triple LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line SWM
So I guess of the two leads I have, one is Ka and the other Ku band. If this is true then the Ka band lead is useless to me but the Ku band should work.
As far as watching Direct TV or DISH on my FTA, I have no interest in either of them. I have HD cable with 200 stations I don't watch already.
My interests and purpose for buying an FTA was simply to view FTA from other countries and that's it. Most of these are Ku band and I should be able to press this dish into service.
So, given the dish I have do you have any info on the critical settings I need for my FTA receiver? I think all I need to get started experimenting is the LNB type (standard, universal, etc) and the LO. Since the cable goes directly to the receiver I shouldn't need DiSEqC right?
Thanks for your help.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
