Hello, I currently have a legacy single round dish currently pointing at 148 for international programming only.

I have tried pointing the dish to the new 118.7, but neither of my recievers have a 118.7 selection on any of the sig. level/aiming menus, and my Sat meter (sat buddy) doesn't offer the 118.7 option either. (I'll be updating firmware today)
the 2 receivers I am using are model 2700 and 311.

This is the only account I have with Dish so I'm not familliar with any of their other equipment. this is why my meter is not setup for Dish birds at this time.
I only need international channels, no HD, & no other services.

Can this equipment receive the programming I need from this new SAT, with my current dish & rcvrs?

thanks in advance.
Rick

118.75 needs a bigger dish and different LNB.
Ie dish500+ and combo DBS 119 and FSS 118.75
