What frequencies does the BSF stop?

Are you asking about the B-band converters?

What is a B-band Converter for DIRECTV?

He is asking about the Band Stop Filter which is used with DECA to prevent interference in certain situations.

Ahhh thanks for clearing that up. "which is used by DECA" was a great piece of missing info.

Yeah, there's no such thing as too much information when asking questions on a technical forum, is there?

I use a band stop filter between my green label 4-way swm multiswitch & non-green label swm lnb. If both the multiswitch & lnb were green labeled,the band stop filter would not be needed. The band stop filter keeps the internet frequencies from bleeding through to non-DECA receivers like the D12 SD receiver & R16 SD DVR. You also need it for the H20 HD receiver(which also is not DECA compatible) & for hook up of the satellite 2 input of the HR20 HD DVR.

BSF are only required for powered decas correct?

The DECABB doesn't need BSF for the d12s and r16 correct?

I haven't used one since they came out with zero problems

They are required to go on any receiver that's non-MRV compatible when on a MRV system. Such a D-12's and R-16's. They say if you have just 1 HDDVR and 3 standards you're "suppose" to put them on the standards so the HDDVR doesn't try to "talk" to them. Never done it but you're suppose to
