Hughes SD-HBH - Compatible LNBs

[dsmith0429]

Hi, does anyone know which model triple LNBs will work with this receiver? I'd like to switch it to a triple LNB, but I don't know which one is compatible or what additional hardware I need to switch it from a single LNB setup. Thanks!

Any Phase III lnb should work, but you will have to realign the dish to use it. Why do you want to do it?

My thought also, why do you want the triple LNB?

Probably just to get spanish channels I'm guessing...

The SL5 LNB (triple) is made for the oval dish. If you have the round dish, it won't fit in the arm. And, the round isn't focused on that satellite anyway. You also need the AU-9 dish. Check ebay for the cheapest prices.
Better yet, call them up and see if they will do a free upgrade to hd receivers, which will require a dish replacement. Then you won't even have to do a dish alignment.

Since the receiver is an older sd type, I doubt he is looking for a ka/ku lnb. Could be though, until he comes back we don't know.

Well unlike its sibling, the Slimline, there is only one kind of triple LNB. And this LNB must be installed using an 18x20 reflector
