I live in the caribbean and have a 6 foot satellite dish. i have an account with dish network. I just bought a new 722vip dvr receiver, a dish pro dual lnbf and a dp34 switch on ebay. I have used a single lnb with an old dvr dish tv receiver for years and it works great. wanted a new dvr. i need to know if i can use the dual lnbf on the big 6 foot dish. i don't care if i only get sat 119 but would be great to see if i can get both sats. i know the dish tv dishes have a special shape to pick up the two sats on one dish but I only have the big dish on my roof. it is needed to pick up the satellites from the caribbean. any help would be greatful
Can I use a Dish Pro Dual LNBF on my own 6 foot satellite antenna

Does your "dual" have two LNBs and an internal switch? If so, it's properly called a "twin". The "dual" is a single LNB with two outputs.
So, the answer is that you likely cannot use a twin on your 6' dish because you have to sit at the focal point with your LNBs. You could buy two (or three) duals and get them to work with a switch such as your DP34. But you would have to figure out where the focal points are for the 2 or 3 sats you're trying to receive.
