Bad LNB-What to buy?

[BOBHUSKER]

It looks like I have a fried DBS Int'l LNB 741. Can you all direct me to the best replacement LNB I should buy? I would prefer one without the Cervo motor. I just bought a new Manhattan RS-1933 HD receiver and now I cannot use it. Frustrating.
Thanks
Bob

The BEST? Well then, let's try a Dual Orthomode Feed with 4 LNBs











controlled by a modded WNC48 multi-switch.


This is what I replaced my 741 with.
Oddly enough, the LNB settings remain the same with this setup as the 741.

Your 741 might still be under warranty if you bought it new. Secondly, maybe it didn't get "fried" but it got water in it. I had a Geosatpro unit once that I took apart, dried and cleaned out and it worked fine after that. That works maybe a third of the time though.

I just bought oned of those orthomodes from linuxman. Save a bunch of money buying it used. Very expensive new.

Looks like you have a BUD (big "ugly" dish) and LUD (little uglier dish) I used a BSC 621 for awhile, but you have to get those right on the money in order to get both bands. I was using a Geosatpro C2 (no servo - voltage controlled) for just C-band. If you have DirecTV, getting Ku off of your big dish might be redundant.

The orthomode is supposed to be an advanced solution, but I guess my luck is holding as I got it working essentially the first time.
