As a DTV tech I just installed my first RBLNB + HR54 + 4k Client today. RB wont be used for another few months. Also was told to not use RBLNBs until later this month but well I'm of the believe that if your getting a 4k client may as well go all the way. Ch 104 looks great. Looks like just random programs on it right now. 105 and 106 didn't have any programming while doing the install.
The Reverse Band LNB's are coming!

I had my Reverse Band LnB installed last Friday. It took my installer 2.5 hrs on the phone to figure out how to get a work order through DirecTv system for it. He finally found someone who knew how to do it. Scanned it in, put it up and away we go.
to Satelliteguys Eikoo!
I'm wondering if I'll eventually need to replace my ebay purchase - i.e. if my 3D2RBLNBR0-01 will be deemed a "pilot" only, and not "live"
Not a huge deal if so - I'll probably buy a 2nd one anyway to avoid having to rerun satellite setup when i use my tailgating rig (which has a vanilla 3LNB SWM).
If anyone could confirm i **won't** need to rerun sat setup switching between 2 similar RB LNBs, I would be in your debt. Thanks.
You shouldn't need to ...
But then again, there is only one RB model in circulation now anyway. The WNC 3D2RBLNBR0-01 you have now.
There's another 3D2RB type mfr.by PBI that's coming later called the 3D2LNBR0-02 I believe. But that one shouldn't reqiure a setup rerun either since it's still going Reverse Band 3 LNB ----> Reverse Band 3 LNB.

Yes, in fact starting tomorrow, or April 7, no 4K installs are allowed (or not supposed to be) without including a RB LNB.

I find this interesting as I have yet to talk to any of the guys in my garage that even knows what a RB Lnb is.
I think the ATT guys are kinda behind the 8 ball on most Directv things. The training they got in my area was from when the 34 launched. They've told me about all the issues they was told about and they're all when the 34 was first launched. We've had the RB's on our trucks for 2 weeks now.
That doesn't surprise me ...
I have a few guys I'm trying to let know what's going on ....
The majority of our guys are doing strictly installs.
No surprise with me either knowing AT&T the way they operate and train people is confusing and hurts their view and their business...imo
It's a job for them. For most of us it's a hobby that we want to know all the latest about. For them it's just not as high a priority.
Noticed that it's listed in upfront now for ordering but can't select a quantity yet.
We're doing repairs but only for the jobs we've installed.
Sent ya a message. I'd like to keep some anonymity on forums just in case big brother is watching lol

Hey White, new here. DTV has no clue about the new reverse band LNB. Do I need it now, is it difficult to install, and which one to order here from Sattelite Guys. This is the only place to get correct DTV info.
Thanks,
Carter
Oh, I have HR 54, 2 C 61s, 4K LG OLED TV, 4K Sony 43 inch TV and Yamaha 3050 AV reciever with HDCP 2.2, and HDMI 2.0a.
