switching from iDirect to Linkstar

(Read 3088 times)

David H Member ★★ Offline Posts: 3 ID	Feb 15^th, 2009 at 11:10pm I've got a 2.4m dish that I use with iDirect service on Ku and C band. I use NJT BUCs and Norsat LNBs. If I switch over to a LinkStar service, will I need to change out the BUC and/or LNB? -- David

Does the LinkStar modem do that in the same way that the iDirect modem does? If I read the specs correctly, it looks like the LinkStar can power up to a 5W BUC, just like the iDirect.
