Replacement for older LNB

I have a slimline dish with LNB SL5K4NR3-01. 2 wires connected to it. What is the current replacement for it?

A SWM3 RBLNB with a 21v power inserter and a SWM splitter, you no longer need a 5 LNB

Well that could be fun. All of the wiring is outside except for where it comes inside for the receiver.

You only need one coax from the dish to the SWM splitter then the power inserter is connected to the red power pass through port then the 2 receivers connect to any open port on the SWM splitter that can be used outside using the supplied rubber boots.  The power insert can also be connected to any coax from a receiver by connecting the "To SWM" port to the red power pass through port and then the "To IRD" to the receiver..

Ok. Can do that. Is the SL5KRB usable in its place? I know where I can get one.

Sure, but you no longer need a 5 LNB as the 119 sat no longer carries any US programming.

OK. I found a kit for the SWM3 and I will get it. Thanks.
