Hi, I use at home both a std round dish for 101 & a second dish for 95 International channels. I want to put up at our other house another 95 antenna so we can carry the reciever back & forth. I just was given an antenna for DirectPC that is abt same eliptical size as the DTV66e I have at home. It has a different lnb ( looks like fish gills under entrance head of lnb!). From what I can find out on Internet, the DirectPC band is in middle of International bang, correct?
Assuming my International service is close to middle, should that lnb work? What do I really need? Same only as one in my DTV66E?

I don't think that the DirecPC dish will work. Your best bet is another Internation Dish (DTV66e) ....

Years ago I had DirecPC, it had two lnb's, one the same as used for the 101 sat and a funny looking one next to it for the computer. It was an eliptical dish, resin material. Great dish, by the way, NO rain fade

You are aware that the international dishes that D* actually uses picks up BOTH 101 & 95 on the same dish, so if you got one of those, you don't even need the round dish for 101. ;) ;)

95 uses a horizontal polar LNB. Go get one.
