Out of curiosity I wonder what model # Dish receiver this is as I can't tell by looking at it

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont see a pic

 

[Blackloz]

It should be there. I see it front and back

 

[Mr Tony]

you have to be registered there to see them
I copied and pasted them here so we can see them easier

There is no Dish equivalent for the 6400. Its Bell exclusive.

If this receiver is meant to replace the 4100, the lack of a co-axial output could be quite a hindrance when setting up for customers with older TV's.

Installers will use a sat finder. If you do it yourself most TVs have at least one composite connection. Another option is to use a PC monitor if it has a composite or HDMI port, or even use a DVI to HDMI adapter.

Nothing stays the same, you cannot hold on to legacy stuff forever and expect it to be compatible until you pass away.

Oh i wasn't referring to it being difficult to install or the co-axial for tuning. I install Bell, and i'm glad the 4100 has a co-axial output, because lots of customers have older tv's with only one composite input. This might make things a bit tricker, or require the use of an RF modulator.
