    Dish 2700 Receiver with Dual Band LNB

    I have a legacy Dish 2700 receiver and trying to get it to receive programming from the 118.7 orbital slot. The software has 118 listed in the dish aiming screen (menu 6 1 1) so I'm assuming there is a way to receive it. I have a 500 plus dish, a dual band FSS/DBS LNB and a DP34 switch...
