Using a 18x20 Directv dish for DishNetwork

[GMFreak8]

What is needed to convert a Directv 18" by 20" dish to work with Dishnetwork? I have a spare Directv dish, but want to use it for Dishnetwork at my camp (switched to dish). Can I just attach a DishNetwork LNBF to the dish and point, or is it more complicated?

You can aim the 101 LNB at the 119 satellite and enjoy that programming. The Phase 3 dish uses a non standard LNB for 110 and different switching for selecting satellites that is not compatible with DISH. Shop Ebay for a cheap DISH 500.

If I switched the LNBF to a LNBF made especially for DISHNetwork, would the dish work?

DISH uses a "D" tube directv uses a rectangular mount. And the focal lengths and configuration are different. YES you can jury rig just about anything but the cost isn't that much to do it right.

Alright, thanks. Guess I'll look for a cheap dish on ebay or something.
