International Programing

[DTV-?]

Hey there i have an 18' (tall) oval dish that DTV sent me with my temp install kit. I now have international programing on my account and would like to see some of it while i am on the road, can i use this dish to get just the international programing. My sat meter says im seeing the 95 dish at 76% (birdog meter) but will not lock on it, is there a different lnb needed or will this dish work for this in a temp install only not anything for long term use have tripod and again the 18 inch (tall) dish that comes in the temp install. Wondering if it works since in my market we need the 72.5 sat for locals so when i want to go from DTV channel to local i have to change the dish location. Would the same work for the international??
thanks much !!

95 requires a different LNB.

To receive service from the 95 sat you need a linear LNB .

No, it will not work. the Dual Lnb is circular.
