What dish is this one?

[TurboPirate]

Hello I got this dish from a friend, some have told me is the DN500 found in USA subs, others just say don't know, I tested it with a bracket and linear LNB but the LNB arm is to short, also is the first dish I have seeing I can skew it instead of skewing the LNB, any help is appreciate it, Thanks TURBO.

I would think it needs a y bracket at the end of it http://ftabonus.com/images/y.bracket.gif

Thank you dalo and Mavrick, sure is a DN500 thingy, I just need the Y adapter but I am already making a new LNB arm long enough to forget the Y adapter.

They do sell the single adapter in stores, they allow use with a "D" shaped LNB. ($10.00)

I called all the local FTA stores and none of them have this adapter nor the Y type yoke, they said they don't order those parts because DN500 doesn't work here in Puerto Rico yet, with the new sat that will replace the present echo*7 it will then work and they are sure to have those adapters when its UP working, so the new LNB arm I am making is the fastest way to have this dish up and working with any true fta sat............ty all.
