It all kinda depends on what you want the C Band dish for. If you plan on using it coupled with a 4DTV receiver the lnbf that Rainman lists will not be compatable with the receiver. If you are only using the dish for DVB MPEG2 signal the lnbf will be fine. I paid $39.95 plus tax and shipping. Was an introductory price but believe they are only $49.95 regular price.

If you plan on 4DTV then you will need to go with a conventional feedhorn and lnbs. You most likely will not build the combo for both C and Ku for under $100.00. Think more like $300.00 if you are buying all new and of decent quality. I will add that the Motorola 922 will do lnbf's just not the one Rainman lists which is the only one I know of that does but C and Ku (circular and linear) with a built in DiSeqC switch.
