Step 2 - Identify the LNB Type

There are four possible LNB types (see Figure 3). The 
replacement instructions are identical for each with 
one exception - the Legacy LNB must be replaced 
with an LNB-1 with attached filter. Legacy LNBs are 
no longer available. 

NOTE: Type 2 LNBs are labeled as such. Older LNBs are 
not labeled.

Important!

Be sure to replace the LNB with an LNB of the same 
type, with the exception of the Legacy LNB. The 
Legacy LNB must be replaced with an LNB-1 with 
filter.
