DirectTV HD Dish with "Sidecar" LNB

[ziggy1222]

I was able to retrieve a DirectTV HD Dish before the trashman got it. It is an older model than the current slimline model. The LNB's are WNC model FW9 & model FW2 also referred to as a "sidecar" LNB. This dish is used for both the KA and KU bands. This may be just a doorstop but I want to fool around with it. Is there any way I can obtain a PDF of the installers manual for this dish/assembly? Thanks.

Welcome to the site

Look around, if you need help with the AT-9 let us know.
You should have no real trouble setting it up unless it's been damaged.

The most likely issue would be with the small coaxes connecting 110/119 LNBs to the main assembly. WNC used SMB connectors, while the other manufacturers used F connectors.
