Hey do you know if I can plug mine straight into the c-band lnf (DR100) to see if I can pick up the last bird it was on (kind of tune it).. I think it's pointing at F1, I'll have to check to see what's on there.. also is a c-band lnf without ku is that analog only? and if so Can the Mercury see the analog channels? I'm kind of anxious to hook up to the dish before I order the vbox and c/ku lnb. Just don't want to mess up the Mercury..

Thanks
the biggest problem you will have by using the mercury is that you will not be able to control the polarity it is usally controled by a polarotor on this type of c band feedhorn. should be a little blue box with 3 wires comming out this is usually controlled by analog receiver.some fta boxes will also control this but not the mercury my satworks will.
