It'd be fine on HB as long as it's not damaged or rusted, and also fitting a new Universal LNB (0.3dB is the usual purchase for most users) would be a good addition too as you could have an old Enhanced LNB (or even a very old Single band LN:cool: if it's a really old dish...

If the dish is only 2 years old it should have a universal lnb on it. Standard & Enhanved types disappeared years ago. Have a look at the lnb before you buy - it will probably say either LO 9750/10600 or universal on it.
