Default LF: Bell LNB - Dual

Now that I'm about to use my backup dish I looked on the roof and noticed that someone has stolen my LNB. Didn't touch the 2 I had on my HD dish right next to it, weird.

Anyone have one for sale? Thought I would ask before running to the store for a new one.

I just wrote you back Ken, you caught my error.

Like I mentioned in the PM, the LNB I need will be pointed at 91 to feed 2 SD receivers, therefore it will bolt right onto the rectangular arm, not the plastic Y and cannot have the rounded top like the picture I posted.

This is actually what I need, correct?

OK, I have both. Well, sort of.

The square one, I have one. However it is labelled as DirecTV. I think it's old enough to be from when Dish and DirecTV used the same hardware. And I think I may have tested it several years ago and it seemed to work.

The only other thing, are you missing the Y adapter, but have a 20" dish? I ask because I think the focus of the dish would be off for that LNB. FWIW I do have my 82 aimed using a dish with just 1 LNB. So if it's just the Y you need I'm sure one of us can find one kicking around somewhere.

I just crawled up on the roof, the arm on my backup dish does have the round top so it will take the unit I posted initially. It's a smaller dish that does not take the plastic Y to do HD, just one LNB for 91.

Thanks guys, I just need the 1 LNB, who lives closer to me? I'm in Bankview.

Most definitely not me. I'm in Victoria, BC...I was going to just ship it out to you if need be.

I have the square [rectangle] old Direct TV LNB on my 30" Starchoice dish and it works fine with Bell. IIRC the rectangle LNB will fit into a D shaped opening but the D [oval] shaped LNB won't fit into a rectangular opening.

Thanks for the LNB Ken, saved me the ebay hassle and not to mention the $50 the stores charge. He even threw in a 60' coax cable and crimped connectors on for me.

Very appreciated!
