The Fortec .4 lnbf that ICE talked about and pictured I bought two of. I used those to replace the two original lnb's on the two P* dishes. The Fortec's are fantastic and I believe the best for the money!!!
Thanks for the advice. I am anxious to see what I need 
The FOrtec's look to be pretty fair priced too
The FOrtec's look to be pretty fair priced too They're nice small LNB's..only drawback (for me anyways) is its a Universal so I cant use 22k switches
Larry,
Let us know if this guy is really willing to sell a few for SatelliteGuys memebers. I'd pay $60 (including shipping) to have him send one to me in NY. I'm not a big fan of Ebay, but I'd be willing to send this guy a money order if the price is right.
Maybe you should become a broker / liason for this guy.
Cheers,
Hantu

and you can still use the 22k switch for 110/119 to only occupy one port on the Diseqc switch (or a combo of any of the two existing slots)

I am anxiously awaiting for my wife to hear back from him on Monday. I will let you all know what I find out. I am really hoping that he will just give them to me so he does not have to pay to dump them at the landfill
Of course I am willing to pay for them. Not sure what they are worth without the lnbs though.

THANKS! I will do that when I get another dish up
Switches, cables, geesh, how will I keep them orgainized iafirebuff said:THANKS! I will do that when I get another dish up
hee hee....I know the feeling..When I did some moving around of dishes/cables etc I had 7 or 8 cables that I didnt know what dish they were for so I hooked them up directly to a box and played "lets narrow it down"
I do wish I would have marked everything where it comes into my house. BUT... it would not be as fun

Here is what I meant by gutting the LNB case
When you remove the plastic, whats left is a 20mm shaft to fit right on that P* dish
Use the macro/close up mode on your camera
Most of the cams use a little flower as the icon.
Primestar Dish Question - UPDATE!
OK, my wife talked to the Directv guy, and he has 2 Primestar dishes. They do not have any mount as they were pole mounted, and no lnbs. So, I can have them both for $30. I told her to tell him I would take them. I assume they will still work for me, as I was planning to pole mount them myself So, now I just need to get an lnb like Iceberg had in his pic and go from there. Anything else I would need? I still am trying to get ahold of the house that has the Primestar dish/lnb.

Pole mount it and slap a LNB on it. Might need some type of top clip to hold the LNB in. Local hardware store should have something to rig up

I just picked up the dishes. They both have Directv LNBs on them. Anyone want the lnbs for anything?
weird they have DirecTV LNBs on them...must have been using the dishes to combat rain fade
I'd keep the LNB's...never know when you'll need them. Heck I've got probably 30 DBS LNB's...never know when you'll need em
