You can just slave your Merc II receiver to the dish and use it to view the C and KU band channels.

Use a BUD slave kit as this one: BUD Slave Kit Splitters, Switches, DVB MPEG2 Sidecar 4DTV Receiver ....Great Prices

Thanks Sadoun,
By looking at the BUD slave kit diagram, the old receiver apparently has two RF inputs one for each band (freq. splitter).

My old receiver has only one RF input for C or Ku and the manual says that this input accepts the 950-1450 MHz input from the LBN (c or Ku). would I need another splitter to connect the two signals (c and Ku) to this old receiver?
