How do I Hook Up an Old Triple LNB SAT to DirecTV Plus HD DVR?

The LNB sits in front of the dish to focus on a specific satellite.

The LNB or Low Noise Block is the part of the satellite dish system that is positioned in front of the dish to receive the satellite signal. You can still use an older triple LNB satellite dish with the DirecTV Plus HD DVR, however you will not be able to receive the HD quality television signal. The older triple LNB satellite dishes connect to the receiver in the same manner as the newer dishes.

Things You'll Need

• Coaxial Cable
• Component Cables

Instructions

1. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the outlet associated with the satellite dish.

2. Fasten the other end of the coaxial cable to the "Satellite IN" jack on the rear of the DirecTV Plus HD DVR receiver.

3. Plug one side of the component cables into the "Video+Audio Out" ports on the DirecTV Plus HD DVR receiver. Connect the other side of the cables into the "Video+Audio IN" ports on your TV's input panel.
