Receiver not locking on Sat 119

[JenJae]

I'm hoping someone can help me! I've borrowed a family member's receiver for a few months while they are away for winter. I already have three working receivers on a Dish 500 (there are three cables coming from dish). My brother is subscribed to all movie channels and local channels, so thought I would use his receiver in my bedroom instead of my current one while he is away so we can have more channels at his expense

Anyhow, the receiver is OLD ... model is Echostar - 4000. It is locked on satellite 110, but when trying to lock on 119, I get the "wrong sat - Echostar 110 west" The signal strength is good, but will not lock. I've done the switch test a dozen times with no luck. I know the dish is aimed correctly, because my other two receivers are picking up 119 & 110 fine.

Any help would be appreciated...perhaps the old receiver is not compatible with the dish I have??

I'm obviously not satellite smart, which is why I'm here. Thanks!

Call dish and ask them to send you a DP adapter. It will allow legacy equip. (receiver model with 4 digits) to work on a DP lnb. That should fix the problem.
