yes but it is not a c band lnb but it is a good one for the dish you are using all you need is a motor and you are all good

so what type of lnb do i need i know is for c band do you know a model or name thank you

its Not Band C

The satellite you want is both Ku and C, but the majority of the channels are C-band. The Invacom QPH031 is Ku only. What channel(s) are you looking for?

ok invacom is ku i know that you told me already i want to get Venezuela what c band lnb do you recomend or c- ku lnb .thank you

According to Lyngsat your Ku dish is barely big enough for C from that sat, but you are not going to easily mount a C-LNB on such a small dish. C-LNBs are designed for C-dishes with large dish focal points. I have yet to find a C-LNB for Ku dishes.

ok , i give it a try found lnb on ebay bsc621 c/ku if c-band dont work i will use ku band it is worth giving it a try nothing to loose ,and thank you for your help.

plus on lynsat it shows the EIRP of 40 which is from 85-115 centimeters my is about 100 centimeters.It is worth giving it a shot.

I know of that one. It comes in 2 types. One for 10.7-12.75GHz Ku and the other for 11.7-12.2GHz Ku. It is 65mm in diameter, so you will probably need to change your LNB mount. I don't know if use of the scalar ring that normally comes with it is absolutely necessary. If so, that complicates the mounting setup. That's beside the focal point issue.

Next to consider is your receiver. Is it C-ready?

**jorgeldelapaz** · May 3rd, 2008

What do you mean if is C-band ready right now i get 119,110,91 is there something else i have to do to receiver.

DishCharlie · May 3rd, 2008

Sorry, I just looked and saw that you posted under Viewsat. I have a Sonicview which is made by the same outfit, so I assume your receiver is C-capable. The sats at 119, 110, and 91 are Ku.

FYI: Don't overbid on e-Bay for the C/Ku LNB. Sadoun has it for $49, and the BSC621-2 with Universal LNB, which my SV has a setting for, has a wider frequency range, 10.7 - 12.75GHz, for FSS and BSS Ku coverage. Good luck.
