Old Dish LNBF. Still compatible?

[krauser1]

In laws have a lake house with an old Dish Network Dish and LNBF. Would it still be compatible for picking up SD channels on the east coast? What receiver (no DVR) would work best if it is still working?

Looks like a legacy LNB. What receiver do they have?

 

[krauser1]

No receiver yet. Just looking for one single one to connect to it.

I believe a 311 will work.

Awesome. Thanks!

Looking at it, looks like a DP500. I tried zooming in to no avail.

Definitely a Legacy LNB it is either a Twin or a Quad it would be mounted on a dish 500 dish aimed at 110 & 119 satellites. A 311 should be the base receiver that will work but I would suggest looking into a 211 HD receiver for future proofing the receiver.

My God that is an old legacy twin lnb . Look forward to 38 switch checks.

Twin... That was what I was looking for.

I think I'd probably look on eBay for a DPP Twin, I saw one on there just a minute ago for $26 with shipping included.

With that you will pick up 110/119 and will get all the available HD's as well on 110. You can add a cheap wing dish from Craig list for sat 129 and add it to the mix. The newer ones of the 110/119 had an input for the wing so you could get a cheap dish wing and complete the setup. Alternatively you could just get a dish 1000.2 with 110/119/129 and be done without messing with the switches etc.

Just get the 1000.2 and be done with it.....
