    Can the 722 use legacy equipment for HD?

    ADVERTS 1
    Does Legacy technology work with a VIP 722 receiver? I have a Dish 500 pointed at 119 & 110 and a dedicated dish pointed at 61.5 and all LNB's are legacy. I'm currently running a (2) 721 and (1) 5000 receivers. The VIP 722 which I'm waiting for will replace the 5000. I'm using (6) 2 way splitters each with a power pass port and a DC blocked port, (2) sw64 switches and (3) Feed Through Loads to supply the signal to my receivers. The receivers recognize the switch matrix and see all 3 satellites with strong signals. Thanks for your feedback!

    As long as you have two feeds from the SW64 switch to the receiver, yes it should work.

    Are you telling us or asking the question? The 722 will work with legacy LNBs but you must run 2 lines to the 722. Both lines need all 3 birds so you would need a SW64 switch. Lots of cable and lots of work.
