The answer is YES. To watch the preview channel which is FTA

The answer is NO if you want to catch T5 or AMC4 or other satellite.

yes, it's a circular KU LNB. Good for DISH NETWORK at 110W and 119W, DIRECT TV, BELL EXPRESSVU at 91W and 82W. You will get some FTA music channels and Nasa TV on ECHOSTAR 119W. Forget DIRECT TV, no FTA channels.

The reason i ask, a guy i work with said he bought a compleat setup and it came with a LNB that looks just like his Directv LNB and i told him i thought they were not compatalbe He has it strapped to a Directv LNB on a Directv dish(something about 110 or 119 ?

A DirecTV LNB will work fine for the circular polarity stuff (as Phil6 has written)
