Satelite help

[GRIZ]

OK heres my problem

I have a satelite dish but don't know what it from? I want to put it on my fishhouse and I want to know if it's for dish, direct or somthing else. How do ya tell as there isn't any markings on it. I could use it if it's for either dish or direct.

The part that is circled is called a LNB.  This particular one is a single LNB.  They also make a duo LNB, and a triple LNB.  Jsut trying to help out.  All this new fangled technology can be confusing! :-\

[GRIZ]

It don't say anything on the lnb just what it says on the sticker below it. Here are some pics of it if that helps.

Heck if you look around Direct has a deal going on where you get the equipment for free anyways. It might save you time and hassle to look into that,
