using a DirecTV dish for DISH network?

[whiteandnerdy]

hey guys, first post here:up

is it possible to use a single-lnb Directv dish to hook up to my DISH 625 DVR so we can watch tv when we're camping? i am completly new to DISH Network, just switched to it! i love it so far.

anyway, the dish on my roof is double-lnb. it says DISH500 on the dish and dp on the lnb. is there any way it could work??
thanks!!!!

depending on what programming you want to watch, it is possible. there are MANY posts, questions and answers about this. Just use the search feature and you will find more then you could possibly imagine.

I searched for directv dish and directv lnb in the Dish Network technical forum and came up with a couple to get you started.
