Can I use this Ku LNB?

I was going through some of my junk in the garage and cam across this:
http/KU.notlong.com

It came off a NTN Communication system. There the ones that offer
hospitality suite / Bar games like trivia and QB1 interactive football.

I'm wondering if I were to get a C/Ku feedhorn, if I could use it for my Ku
LNB?

Looks like it should work fine. You'll need to unscrew the bracket that's
attached to the front of it now.

You might also be able to use one of these, though I'd first get a report
from someone who's tried one. It's a Ku add-on adapter for a C-band feed:

I told you you weren't done yet!

Ok, with that comment "I told you you weren't done yet!" you just made my
day.

You know I saw that thing on eBay a little earlier and didn't click on it
because I didn't know what the hell it was. It would keep me from needing a
feedhorn mouth cover. Actually it seems a bit too bazaar for me and I would
have to put an extension on my coax due to my lead won't reach down that
far. On top of that I'm not sure how I would hook up the wiring for two
polarizer motors.

Any one using one of these things? How well does it work?
