Magnigyro,

Can you dump a pix from your cell phone or camera?

Just thinking out loud, I am wondering if the LNBF fixture is simply missing from the support arm. Without seeing it, I cannot tell for sure.

no there were 30" dishes with a "D" arm on them so you can slip a Dish network LNB into them. I've seen them before. There was also a model with a rectangle LNB slot (like what the old DirecTV LNB's were)

You can rig up something and make it work though

A while back, we used to carry SHARP brand LNBF that was standard linear KU with a D shape mounting base just like the picture here.

It was made for Starchoice I think about 6-7 years ago. No longer available.

Go to your local Lowes, Home depot etc. and pick up a couple of electrical conduit hangers. They work great when building LNB brackets.

Scroll up and down a few messages to see more info on the use of the conduit hanger brackets.
They cost less than $1.00 USD at your local hardware store.

Make sure you put the feedhorn of your new LNB at the proper place.
If you do not, the aiming and performance of the dish will be affected.

If the dish skews you could plug a square LNBF like the Lava (ROC?) or something right in there. The bit that drops from the top of the D should tighten down on the top of the LNBF. It won't be quite as secure with just the bottom and the bit at the top holding it, but it shouldn't be too bad. You can add a washer or two as a shim if needed.

The conduit hangers are a great option for holding the LNBF by the neck. Leave a Dish Network D shaped LNBF in and lined up and make the conduit hangers fit the neck properly. Then just remove the Dish Network LNBF and clamp a linear in place.

Cool. Take a picture of your final setup and post it here, so we can critique it for you
