Which LNBF

[K4LK]

Hi guys,

I have a Winegard 30" dish that I was using for VOOM to improve rain fade margin. It is the DS-2078 ( http://www.winegard.com/home/76cm.htm ) with RCA style feed support.

Is there an LNB that will fit that I can use for FTA (linear transponders instead of circular on DBS)?

Thanks!

I have a dual that is like that (rectangle slot)...the only issue is you can't skew the LNB for optimum signal. and when you get way far away from your true south (if fixed dish) you wont get a signal

If it motorized,t hats irrelevant.....

I know www.dmsiusa.com had them

Thanks Ice,

Sounds like I'm better off selling the 30" dish rather than outfitting it with a special feed and LNB and mover. I don't think my Satcruiser DSR-101 has motor drive. I already have my 10' dish feeding my Satcruiser and Unity Motion. I was investigating whether the 30" dish could be useful pointed at a fixed satellite.

 

[Mr Tony]

It would be useful as long as the satellite is close to your true south

As an example, IA6 is my true south (93)

so anything between 87-97 would work fine...but G10 wouldn't (due to not being able to skew the LNB)
