    tale of woe - help needed

    I have the 75E dish. The LNB has 4 outputs 2 for A and 2 for B. I think it fits the two squished eyes description you gave (though I'm not sure). It is a non stacked unit. Since I just got it I have the box for the LNB at home if you need more information.

    help needed - Star choice 315 set up A few weeks ago my SC dish was hit by lightning. The DSR 405 receiver was unplugged but because it was connected via the coax to the dish it got fried. I have obtained a lower end receiver the DSR 315. However I have tried to move from the 60E dish to...
