Can I use my legacy hardware including an SW64 and appropriately pointed dishes with the original LNB's with a 921?

Yes. But, make sure you take the initial software update before doing a check switch or bad things can currently happen.

Mark,

Which satellite carries the 921 software update?

I don't know, Murray. Scott might, though.

I've seen this discussed elsewhere, but I haven't found a discussion of the specifics of the "bad things". I have a SW64 and did a check switch before the software download. Other than the bugs that others are seeing, I haven't found any untoward consequences of checking the switch before the download. Is there something specific I should be looking for?

Checked switch, download went fine.

Only using 110 & 119 on switch though.
