Having some problems setting up a DP301 receiver with a legacy dish.
I'm currently trying to setup a basic Dish network system (dish500, legacy twin LNBs, DP301 receiver) to use with the basic Dish network welcome channel package and am having a few problems setting up the dish. I am using an old dish 500 with the two twin LNBs as I don't need any HD programming or have any need for additional receivers at this time. I have aimed the dish 500 at the 119W and 110W satellites (verified on a separate receiver). However, I am unable to receive anything on the DP301 receiver; when I connect an output from the 119 LNB directly to the receiver the only message I get in the "point dish" screen is "wrong satellite" and signal strength of 117%. I have verified that the dish is aimed at 119W by connecting the dish to an FTA receiver (I also have a legitimate FTA setup, no piracy here). I have also run numerous "check switches" to no avail.
Just wanted to confirm that the legacy LNBs will work with the DP301 receiver?
