My new dish's (Mexican) LNB mount is for a round lnb, and my dish pro is rectangular.
I am now stuck with legacy LNB and switches...do they have digital LNBs that are made for round mounts
New to forum so if I screwup...please don't yell too load:)

I've used duct tape, shimes, and hose clamps for dishpro mounts. You should have a signal meter available to find the "sweet spot" for the lnb face. You may have to do some cutting and bending.
Acutally, the legacy lnb is better for your use. Just be sure not to mix them with dishpro multiplexers. The dp lnbs stack the even and odd transponder frequencies on one cable. This simplifies cabling but can cause problems with weak signals since the higher frequencies used in the dp lnb can result in some loss of signal in long cable runs and you need every little bit you can get.
