Dish pro has it written on it. If it doesn't say dish pro it is a legacy.

I believe the dish pro LNB is 2 LNB's molded together as 1. The legacy LNB's are 2 seperate LNB's joined with a Y adapter. The legacy LNB's is what you need along with a sw21 switch. Please correct me if I am wrong on the DP and legacy look.

There are versions of the legacy integrated lnb's that look exactly like the dish pro integrated lnb's. The only difference visible is the DP on the dish pro lnb's.

TCD, if your LNB (the one-piece unit) has DP on the backside in large letters, it's not compatible with a 2700/2800 receiver. Can't mix DishPro LNB's with Legacy receivers. You must use a DP receiver, such as a 301.

If your other unit has two dual LNB's side by side - each with two outputs - visualize the outputs as 1,2,3,and 4. Now, connect output 1 and 3 to the number one SW21 switch, and feed the switch's output to your number 1 receiver. LNB output 2 and 4 would connect to your number 2 SW21, and it's output will feed your number 2 receiver.

Run a "check switch" test when you're finished with your connections.

I use two 301 receivers, but the rest of my setup is exactly as described above.
