Hello, have slim line dish and dvr receivers installed in florida. thought I would bring one of the Standard def box to Toronto to watch directv. I set up dish with old SONY receiver to get signal strength on 101. Got it to 90..... when I transfer cable over to new Standard def box I get searching for signal 771.. Do these new receivers not work with old 18" round dish?\
any help is greatly appreciated..

thanks in advance

First off, :welcome to Satelliteguys!

Can you post the signal levels on the two receivers?
 
you need to redo the satellite setup since you are going from a slimline to a 18"

Duh! I didn't even think of that! Good catch, Ice!
