I was searching ebay for no good reason and stumbled upon this. Its the new 3 LNB for the slimline getting 99, 101, and 103 (or so it says) Just thought you all would like to know just in case any one wants or needs one.

will this lnb work if a rerson were to change out the 5 lnb on their existing slimline?

It uses the same dish as the 5 LNB Slimline so yes.

It uses the same dish as the 5 LNB Slimline so yes.

So...I have one of these that I wanted to use in my RV with a HR21. If I use the 3LNB, what do I lose? All the MPEG4 HD stuff?

Yes, the Slimline not the SWMline (the one with the built-in SWM).

You lose the sats at 110 and 119. Most of the MPEG4 HD channels are at 99 and 103.

The "old" 3-LNB or Phase III dish does not have visibility to the 103/99 sat locations .. the older 3-LNB dishes gave access to 101/110/119. The new SL3 LNB (or Slimline-3 LNB) give access to 101 for Ku and 103/99 for Ka bands. HD is is on 103/99.

So, when you say you "have one of these" you have to make sure that it is the right 3-LNB that you are talking about. This is a new LNB and only became available about the middle of this year.

swmline and slimline are the same dish

Not to be confused with a slimlion

a slimlion is a lion that has not eaten in a while/ Installing a SlimLion results in both you and your television being eaten
