DirecTV - Adapter for LNB?

e0rbay · #1 (**permalink**) 04-16-2004, 01:44 PM

I have a Philips DIRECTV Multisatellite Dish with an itegrated triple LNB and itegrated 5 x 4 multiswitch.

I am interested in switching over to DishNetwork. Obviously I'll be getting new receievers... but can I keep my current dish and LNB? Would an adapter of some sort be required? If it IS possible to use my current dish and LNB... would my signal be weaker because it's not a DishNet dish and LNB?

Thanks for the info.

I don't think you need an adapter. Or just change the LNB to a dishnet one.

You will not be able to use the triple DirecTV LNB for DishNetwork because the switching system is different between the two service providers. I'm not sure if you could adapt a DishNetwork LNB to fit the Phillips dish.
