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.
Probably not. Depending on what equipment and Dish programming you have, you will need a Dish LNB pointing to the correct satellite orbitals.
If you are a new or qualified returning customer, you can get Dish TV installed (standard install up to 6 televisions) free if you qualify for certain dish promotions.
A DISH Network receiver can only work with a unique Smart card. The card in the DISH Network receiver that you are referring to would be the smart card.
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.
Both direct tv and Dish Network offer a DVR tryp receiver.
Yes, there is no difference. I use a Direct dish and an Expressvu receiver at the cottage.
For DISH Network, the receiver can be about 200 ft away from the dish to operate optimally.
To get HD programming, you need a Dish HD receiver and a HDMI cord which connects from your Dish TV receiver to your HDTV.
You may not have your Dish satellite receiver on the correct channel if it is a duo (dual receiver). You will need to tune it to either 60 or channel 73. Also, make sure your power to your Dish Network receiver is on -- for the Dish TV duo receiver, you should see a light for TV2 and TV1.
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.
As long as it is a Dish Network receiver that is current, it is allowed. However, it has no effect on monthly charges if you choose to use your own receiver.
"A Dish Network receiver is connected to a television through something that is called a Coaxial cable, which is usually located on the back of a television."
No you cannot. The receiver decodes the signal coming from the satellite that is unique to DISH Network.
I just wanted to clarify that Bell Canada provides the DISH Network signal from our satellites in space. Everything from the receiver to the dish is provided by Bell Canada.
