Directv LNB

[jerry50]

Can a Directv LNB be used for linear satellites?
I have one mounted on a 32" dish,but havn't seen a FSS yet.
How about Dishes LNB? Or they Circular Only?

 

[Mr Tony]

no. DirecTV LNB's are DBS (12.2-12.75 GHZ) and are circular

FSS( KU) is 11.7-12.2GHZ and are H/V polarity

Thanks,If you mount a linear lnb on a 20" dish, what if, any fss will it see and which ones (SBS6?)

 

[PSB]

With a 20" dish and a Linear LNBF you will get a few of the VERY strong signals, as soon as it clouds over or rains it will be gone. You NEED at least a 30" dish for linear Ku signals!

The smaller dishes also don't have that narrow of a beamwidth. This makes it a lot easier for satellites in adjacent slots to interfere with your desired signal. This is why DBS sats have 9 degree separation and Ku FTA sats go as low as 2 degree separation.
