c-spand thanks. I have never seen a LNB for Internet.

i have converted a few internet dishes to fta. Those internet lnbs are not useful for fta. I see them for sale but really do not know why would anyone need one.

Sure looks like an exotic LNB. Are they difficult to site in?

Both

For fta just make a template of where the original internet lnb location is. Then use plumbers tape , bendable metal to make bracket and tywrap to secure fta lnb. In some cases you can order a lnb universal bracket from internet that may fit too. Internet i am not as knowledgeable on as that is a pay service and a pro would have to install that.

For Viasat, yes. For Hughes, Echostar 17, very yes but for Echostar 19, they're pretty easy
