Legacy or Dish Pro LNB to Dish Pro Plus?

Andy74 · 08-18-06, 12:48 PM

Hello, I have a question about connecting another dish antenna (international 65W) to my existing set up (Dish 500 with Dish pro plus)

My current set up is Dish 500 (100/119) with Dish Pro Plus, feeding PVR942 (via a separator).

I also have a Dish 300 antenna with Legacy LNB (not Connected).
I also have a Dish Pro (not plus) laying around from my old set-up.

Questions
1) Can I connect the Dish 300 Legacy LNB pointed at 65W to Dish Pro Plus ?
2) If #1 is no, can I connect the Dish pro to Dish 300 and run the cable from Dish Pro (65W) to Dish Pro Plus (110/119)?

Use the Dish Pro LNB to feed into the "input" on your DPP LNB.
It should fit nicely on your D300 pointed at 61.5° for internationals.

You have a Dish Pro what? DP Twin? DP Dual? DP receiver?

Answers:
1) No. No mixing of DishPro and legacy LNBs and switches. See DishPro Technology on the EKB.
2) Yes. If it's a DP Twin, see the bottom of INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADDING A DISH AT 61.5° for some tips though I'm not sure what difficulties you may encounter, if any, using it on a Dish 300.
