There are currently only two types of switch/lnb technologies being used by Dish today DishPo and DishPro Plus. There is a third and it is called a Legacy switch and or lnb. Legacy equipment can only be used with Echostar legacy receivers and FTA recievers. DishPro can only be used with DishPro, but the golden goose egg is the backward compatible DishPro Plus. Say you have one old 2700 model Legacy receivers and add a DPP 625, this is not a problem and there is no need for a DishPro adapter on the 2700 as long as the LNB is upgraded with a DPP. What we ran into with SuperDish upgrades was having to add DishPro adapters to allow the legacy receivers to be compatable, but within a couple months the legacy rcvrs would burn out. I have to run so what started out as good thread will be for now incomplete as there are a few more points I'd like to make concerning the amount of wiring involved with the different technologies as DPP is the greatest thing since Koolaid!!!!
