can any of you guys tell me by my location if i need a dielectric plate? reason is i lost mine and i didnt want to get another one if it isn't needed on the east coast for the dmx741 on mini dish?. due to the heaviness (pulldown) of the 741 is the ck2 lighter? i wanteed to know because eventually i will have ku next to the c on the dish. again thanks guys for all the help this is the best site on the net.
 
The dielectric plate is used to pick up circular signals. There are a few Atlantic satellites that are broadcasting circular polarized signals.

When the dielectric plate is inserted into the LNB, the LNB becomes a circular LNB. To pick up linear signals the plate needs to be removed.
