Hello,

I will be replacing the LNB on my Hotbird 13 satellite.
I have a spare and I am hoping to post a pic on here.

However in the interim could someone tell me if the lnb for this satellite are compatible with all dishes?

Regards,

Virtually all LNBs used for your purpose will be 40mm collar-fitting universals.

If they look pretty similar, it's pretty much certain they're directly interchangeable.

Don't forget to guesstimate how much skew was applied, so you can rotate the replacement accordingly.

First of all, we have to know what kind of dish you have and what LNB you want to replace.
With pictures works best.

Except, of course, LNBs intended for Sky Zone 1/2 dishes, and those with 23mm collars (although adapters are available for those)

For all we know he might have a prime focus dish.

I don't think we will ever know as he hasn't bothered to respond for over 2 weeks .:rolleyes:
