I just want to confirm that I can use a Dish500 and a Legacy Dual E* LNB to get Directv's satellite 101.

I bought a Directv HD receiver Zenith HD-SAT520 to get my OTA channels but I need it to look at sat. 101 so I can view the guide.

As long as it is a dual and not a TWIN you are OK. Remember your azimuth will be off by 4.5 degrees when aiming the dish 500.:)

Thanks Bob. Yes it's a dual and I will use an I adapter so I should be OK.
