I have a crank up Winegard on my Southwind. I was having trouble with the reception and was trying to disconnect the LNB to check the cable and I have broken it. All I need is the single LNB, I looked it up online and it looks to be discontinued. Can I buy a dual LNB and just connect the one side? If not does anyone with more experience have any suggestions? I've called Winegard and have been unable to speak to anyone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Justin

Does it need to be a Dish Network specific LNB? Will they all fit into the Winegard arm? Thanks for the reply.

I have a few here in Canada but probably get one here
satellite DTV LNB | eBay
Or see if you can locate a local installer -they throw them out in the trash lots of times

Thanks for the help, I think a friend has one in the shed. I'll know tomorrow. I'll update when I get it and see if it works.

Dual LNB $17 from amazon.com. There are probably lots of other sources, maybe at better prices. Amazon came up near the top of my Google search. Amazon is good to deal with, and they usually ship things the same day if they're in stock (which these are).

I'm up and running folks!! I got the LNB from an old Direct TV dish. It was a direct bolt in replacement. It's grey and doesn't match the white dish but I can't see it when I'm inside watching tv!! Thanks to all who responded and helped out. Happy trails!!
