I have searched and not been able to find a definitive answer.

Just got a 605 to replace an old 401. Also still running a 401 and several 505's. Called for activation this weekend - only vertical signals are coming in on the 605 - both F1 and F2.

I suggested v-code was wrong. CS for SD went for advice. Came back and said my Dual stacked dish was unsupported on the 605 and I needed an XKu lnb.

I have seen threads and posts here and elsewhere indicating it works fine.

What gives? Do I need to get on them and tell them to just fic the v-code or are they correct and I need new dish hardware and a re-working of all my cabling which I am concerned would be a nightmare. Currently two coax lines running from the dish to an equipment room and then distributed. long lines and lots of finished drywall.
 
It is possible to reset most 6XX units to accept the old MPEG2 stacked channel map. You will not receive MPEG4 channels. Call and go directly to tech support.
