We have a system that we recently started to maintain. We installed a new MFH-2 system to upgrade the people that wanted HD but left the old MFH-1 system intact for the people that did not want to upgrade at this time.

This weekend the Winegard stacking LNB went out and I am trying to find a replacement with no luck. Does anyone have one sitting on the back shelf that they can sell me. I called Pace and they are out of stock for a few weeks.

Any ideas or suggestions besides telling everyone that they now have to upgrade to MFH-2?

Thanks in advance,

Slowhand

Welcome to the club. According to the major distributors they are no longer being made due to a piece of equipment on the line that has failed. Your best bet would be to check EBAY or somewhere like that. Or you should be able to use a destaker in the system to use two LNBs to get it to work.

Dave,

I found the Sonora microstacker that I said I was sure I had somewhere. It powers off the same 18 volts that the Winegard stacked LNB is using now, so all you'll need to do it put in a regular dual LNB. PM me for where you want me to drop it off. I'll be downtown tomorrow, but I'm leaving the area for a few dasy tomorrow night.

I'd use a dual LNB with a sonora uS575 stacker.
At least until I found a stack LNB.

Id stay with the dual/575 even if I did find a stacked lnb, I have one by the way, but I'm sure he already covered the problem.

I would stick with the uS575 as well.

Could not find a stacked LNB. Called Pace they said they were expecting some in a few weeks.

Installed the Sonora stacker and everything is good now.

Thanks for the responses and advice,
