Some other LNB Types

  

 LNBs are broadly categorized into three types:

   1. Legacy LNBs - Single, Dual, and Twin

        The word "legacy" is not a brand or specific type but refers to a previous, older but still in use system. Dish Pro and legacy do not mix, but Dish Pro Plus equipment is backwards compatible, but you can not mix legacy with Dish Pro or Dish Pro Plus LNB's. Backwards compatibility refers to a legacy receivers' ability to work with Dish Pro Plus LNB's. Legacy LNB's are identified by the absence of any marking or logo on the LNB.

   2. Dish Pro (DP) LNB's - DPSingle, DPDual, DPTwin

         Dish Pro is identified by the Dish Pro logo on the LNB's.

   3. Dish Pro Plus (DPP) LNB's - DPPTwin

         Dish Pro Plus equipment is identified by the Dish Pro Plus logo on the LNB.

 

 

 

Single LNB - One output, may be legacy or Dish Pro

 

 

 

 Dual LNB - Two outputs, may be legacy or Dish Pro (DPDual)

 

 

 

 Twin - (Legacy pictured-LNB has no printing or logo on the LNB), Twins may be legacy, Dish Pro (DPTwin), or Dish Pro Plus (DPPTwin) 

 

  Quad - may be legacy, Dish Pro

You have a right to an antenna!

The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.

Q: Who do I call if my town, community association or landlord is enforcing an invalid restriction?
A: Call the Federal Communications Commission at (888) CALLFCC (888-225-5322), which is a toll-free number, or 202-418-7096, which is not toll-free. Some assistance may also be available from the direct broadcast satellite company, broadband radio service provider, television broadcast station, or fixed wireless company whose service is desired.
