I have an FTA dish Satellite that I bought from Sadoun 4 years ago. I am wondering if I can use it for Echostar 9. It's 30" with Universal Linear lnb. |

Do you have a legacy receiver or a DISHPRO receiver?

The Admin's reply gives the impression that the two are not the same, doesn't it?
BTW, I took my reciver outside and connected it it directly with a short cable to make sure nothing in the wiring is impeding the singnal, but I got the results.. Very high signal for transponders 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, but no signal for the others on the Dishnet receiver. All transponders show up with high signal on the Fortec receiver. The makes me wonder if dishnet receiver requires a special kind of linear lnbf?
