Need some help with receivers please

[moab_dan]

I have a 301. Under the sysinfo menu the smart card number will not populate. Tech help at dish tried to download an update to the receiver but no go. Is the receiver bad or the smart card? I have had this receiver since new but it has been deactivated for about 4 years.
I tried to use my 3000 reciever but the even transponders will not receive a signal. Is this receiver compatible with the dp pro 151300 lnb?

Thanx for any help!
Dan

Just realized I dumped my question in the wrong forum. Sorry.

the 3000 would need a DishPro adapter to make it work with the DP LNB

Thank you!

The smart card in the 301 is probably a blue card that DISH has replaced, that may be your problem. You might also have a dirty card after 4 years of storage try rubbing gently with a pencil eraser and reinserting it.
