can the linear lnb from the 105 superdish be used to pick up the true fta sats or is it only good for picking up dn sats that require a linear lnb.
thanks in advance

The DN Superdish105 LNB marked FSS for 105W is band-stacked linear and works great for true FTA sats. Just limit the scan to verticals only or duplicate scans will result. Although the LNB is DishPro(OCS-DP) I have gotten better results using the "Standard" or "Single" setting. Believe it or not, the LNB for 119W DBS Stacked is also linear, but the feedhorn has internal reflection walls that convert circular to linear. I have used the FSS LNB on 97W and 123W among others.
On rudnisty's point: 118.7W broadcasts low band circular (11.7-12.2GHz) and 119W broadcasts high band circular (12.2-12.7GHz), so there are no significant interactions despite the proximity. Many e-Bay sellers incorrectly advertise 118.7W as linear. You can confirm this on lyngsat.
