Fortec 786NA with a DTV triple

[Klor]

Hi All,
Newbie here....I just purchased a Fortec 786NA and want to use with my current DTV triple, is this possible? I also want to purchase a rotory motor for the dish.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would not use the DTV triple LNB dish; get a 30" or 33" dish for the Fortec and get an HH motor or similar one.

Thanks for the advise, I've done a lot of reading in the past 3 weeks and some of the forums said that shouldn't be a problem, but I guess there is. I suspect that I could use it, but I would not be able to use the Fortec to it's full capacity.

Thanks

Yeah, the problem with using a DTV or DN small dish is that you can only get a few FTA channels from DishNetwork - nothing from DTV. To get the majority of FTA channels from other satellites you need the bigger dish. With a motor you most definitely want a bigger dish so you can get the most from your Fortec receiver.
