Dish Question

[River Hill]

Will a Dish Network dish work with a Direct TV receiver?

 

[TNGTony]

Yes, but the LNB may not. Only the legacy LNBs (older units) will work with DirecTV.

Thank you

For all the different models that DISH has produced the general answer would be NO Specificlly a DISH 300 with either a Legacy single or dual LNB would work but most others are incompatible with Directv technology.

All the Dish Network Dishes will work to gather the signal.
Only the legacy LNBs will work to get usable signal to the DirecTV receiver..

How's that?

Sorry Tony but Legacy QUADS and TWINS won't work due to internal switches.

Still not good enough. You first must establish that the question does not involve HD. None of the DISH Network dishes are suitable for DIRECTV Ka band HD.

Given modern service options, there are more exceptions than there are rules, so it is probably best to say "probably not".

I am just going to order the Disaster Recovery Kit, so I know it will work for camping.
