FTA with Dish 500 system

[ee1995]

Can I use an FTA receiver with an existing Dish 500 (Dish Pro) system to receive the FTA Muzac channels on Echostar 119W? I just want to get the audio.

AFAIK, the internal switch on the Dish 500 may be incompatible with a typical FTA receiver.

If its a DishPro, yes it will work. You can't use a Diseqc but set the diseqc port for 1

I tried it once and it did work.
