wejones you are 100 percent correct lnbs just dont go out or off frequencey (unless they are cheep junk) an some lnbs will last longer than others, i have a 35 degree gardener on my dish now an its got to be about 20 years old an still work great, but on the other hand had bought about 20 eagle aspen an with in about year had to warranty out about half of em or close to it. now their is 1 more thing that i have seen that will take out lnb that was not mention is a receiver, have seen some of the old uniden like 4400 would have a regulator go out, an send 26 to 36 volt on if line an a lnb wouldnt last a week an when you would change it out was hotter than a normal lnb. an with lnb-f had ran in my share of problems with the fotec an also with zinwell, of both shiffting frequencey an missing transponder, but the majority of em will last till a lighting season an then i dont care what brand or type you have a will normally be a door stop. Hope all this info helps you out WilliamEng an may want to keep a spare on hand, for testing or in case 1 goes out. Captain
