question about 97 sat

[manuel30]

im still i don't get it how to get sat 97 i got dish pro hook up with 2 recivers.that i need 2 annterna or something like that or someone has a pic for this set up plis thanks all

im sorry for dumb question but wat is a linear LNB and how is hook up u any pic for thank u

You basically have two types of LNB's Linear and Circular. Some sats require Linear and some Circular. You will need to get a Linear LNB to get this sat...

LNB stands for low noise blocker and it is essentially an amplifier on the end of your satellite dish. The "Linear" portion of Linear LNB stands for the characteristics of the radio waves that are transmitted via the satellite in space to your dish .

There are Two Types of Polarization
Circular Polarization

Circular polarization is a characteristic of radio waves that are transmitted from a satellite in space, in which the actual radio waves rotate in a spiral. The spiral of radio waves either rotates clockwise or counter clockwise. A great analogy of how circular radio waves approach your satellite dish (LNB) is by picturing an airplane propeller. The airplane propeller follows a specific path, but as it approaches the radio wave is spinning vertically.

Linear Polarization

Linear Polarization is the characteristic of radio wave in which the radio wave rotates on a single horizontal plane. A great analogy is instead of an airplane propeller, the radio wave approaches your satellite dish in the form of a helicopter rotor. The radio waves spin horizontally.
Besides the direction of the wave being either horizontal or vertical, satellite receivers usually only are able to work with one type of polarization. However, they are able to pick up both signals, the difference is about 50% loss in signal strength (-3dB).

so i need a second antenna

[coorslightly]

you need a different type of lnb. 97W requires a Linear, it uses 10750 frequency instead of the 11250 circular frequency.
