Question: what is the purpose of this b band converter
Document: The b band converter was delivered timely and it was easy to install. It took me a few minutes to re-align my satelite dish and then I was able to get HD channels on my satelite receiver. Thanks
Why would someone buy these b-band converters when all you have to do is call 1-800-directv and ask for a few. They will ship them fedex to you for FREEEE!
Worked perfectly for use with DTV Phase III Satellite Dish and HD DVD receiver. B Band Converter is necessary for this installation procedure.
Purchased as I do not have a SWM (single wire module) setup and ordered a new HR24-500 receiver / recorder. Depending on your satellite setup and receiver model, you may require a B-Band converter to receive HD signals from all the satellites.The item works as expected and the model received was the newer model (smaller version) than shown in the picture.
Item as described and shipped promptly. This converter is what I needed to have my new Direct TV converter work with the older legacy dish that is feeding it the signal.
This certainly does its job. I rated it as I like it only because it really isn't something that I could honestly say &#34;I love&#34;. Just for the mere fact that it is a converter.
We forgot to bring this converter on an extended camping trip. The DirecTV receiver will not work without it, so I normally keep a spare in our RV. We move the receiver from the house but try to minimize the amount of stuff we have to move back and forth!
i first had the try p[od you had to manually set drove me nuta!!!!! the winrguard is fantaskit the only problem i have is local chanels 2 5 7 9 ect and some HBO i hav directv an swim?
Why would you purchase one of these? They come for free with the receivers that need them. The Newer receivers have been manufactured so they do not need or use them. Perhaps when you open a box with with a new receiver or DVR, you should actually READ the instruction Manual (Set-up)
We needed two of these to finish the installment of our Slimline 3 Direct Satellite dish. The original kit stated one was included. It wasn't. I contacted the seller to request that he send the missing one and ordered the second one. All is well.
Answer: It allows newer recievers to get HD channels from the sattelite.
