There are numerous LNBs available depending on the number of satellites your dish is receiving. Some LNBs are only capable of 1 satellite feed, while others are capable of 4 satellite feeds. The number of feeds determines the price of the LNB. You can find online websites that sell the LNBs and dishes.
You can purchase LNBFs it would be $50

Can you use a dish network pro500 dish and L and B to tune in a direct tv signal?
You can use the dish but not the LNB; it will not work for dtv. The DISH Network LNB and the receiver decodes the signal and gives you a picture on your TV.
Can a dish network lnb receice DirecTV signal?
DISH Network receivers decode the satellite signal using the receiver and the LNB on the dish outside of the home. The LNBs are unique to each company and can't be used by the other. In answer to your question, no.
Can you use a directv dish with a dishnetwork receiver?
Just to clarify on the answers given. The LNBs are different for DISH Network and DTV along with the receivers. The LNB and receiver takes the signal from the satellite and gives you your signal on your TV. As stated, you can't use different receivers and LNB from different companies. The dish outside does not matter, just the LNB and receiver. Simply, no. The satellite dishes use different switching schemes internally for accessing the satellite transponders. Bull....loney. I'm using an old 18" DirecTv dish to receive signals from a Dishnetworks satellite at 119W. The satellite receivers will be different because different signalling protocols are used.
Can you use a dishnet pro 500 satellite dish and L and B for tunning in a direct tv signal?
No, you are not able to use the LNB from DISH Network and receive dtv signal. Our receivers and LNB decode the signal to bring the picture to your TV.
What device modulates outgoing signals and demodulates incoming signals?
To receive a Satellite signal, you need a LNB which is attached to your satellite dish--The LNB and dish is determined by which satellite TV service you have--either Dish Network or DirecTV. The satellite dish is pointed in a particular direction to pick up the correct satellite orbiting the sky. You will also need a satellite receiver, which is "wired" to the LNB and also is attached to your television.
What sizes do dish network dishes come in?
I am also wondering whose dish is bigger Dish or Direct. Back in the C-Band days bigger was always better. and what kelvin do the LNB's run at on both.
Do you need a HD specific satellite dish for HD television?
Yes. If you have Directv or Dish Network, the HD signals come from different satellites the the SD signals. For DTV most SD signals come from the 101, 110 and 119 degree west longitude sat positions. Most HD signals come from the 99 and 103 degree sat positions. Each sat position has a dedicated filter (called a low noise blocker, or LNB) on the arm of the dish. An SD dish only has up to 3 SD LNB's (3 total) and doesn't have the HD LNB's (which would be 5 total.) Don't be confused by looking at the dish to count the number of LNB's because most modern dishes combine up to 3 LNB's into one unit. Call DTV or Dish and ask because if you want to get HD the dish is included (free) in the upgrade. If you already have an HD receiver, the dish upgrade is free. Dish works very much the same way.
Will a Dish Network 3700 rec work with a Dish Pro dual LNB feed?
Actually, you can use a legacy receiver with a DISH Pro dish. An adapter is needed at the receiver to get the proper signal for that receiver. No, Dish Pro is a stacked technology, which the older 3700 will not recognize.
How to install dish antenna and set the signal i have dish network Plus antenna need to set up to 110 119 118 7 thanks?

Will a 3 LNB Direct TV dish work with a Dish Network receiver?
No, there is a receiver in between. An LNB is a 'Low Noise Block'. The 'block' refers to a block of frequencies (not a magic box). It is a low noise amplifier and converter. It changes the microwaves from the satellite signal, to a different, lower frequency that the satellite receiver can handle. A voltage is usually put on the coax from the satellite box. This selects whether the polarized signal received by the LNB, is horizontal or vertical.
Why do LNB's have to be mounted close to the satellite dish?
The LNB takes the signal reflected off the dish, sends that signal through the coax cable to the receiver, where the receiver decodes the signal unlocking the channels you subscribe to.
Where can someone purchase a LNB satellite?
LNB satellite dishes are used for telecommunications. The LNB stands for low noise block and it is the part of the dish that collects the lowest frequencies. Your satellite TV distributor should be able to help you get hold of one.
