Legacy Dish QUAD LNB for FTA - does it work - yes or no?

No. Legacy lng's w/ internal switches will not work. However, Dish pro lnb's w/ internal switches will work. Legacy lnb's w/out internal switches will work, but you can't use sw21 switch. Just connect one single legacy lnb to the diseq switch for 119, and one for 110. then your good to go!

Yes Legacy (with internal switches) will work any lmb pretty much will work it’s actually ezzer to us a legacy than a pro (have a dvb pci card and a fortec working with one) and 2 dn boxes no diseq switch needed. Just get the right settings and you are good to go

which is it? yes or no? i keep hearing and seeing different things on this. i have a legacy quad/ twin encased together. i know a dish pro encased together works and i know 2 dual legacy lnbs work also, but i keep hearing different answers for the legacy quad with built in switch. someome please give a definitive answer. i'd rather save a few bucks and not have to buy a knew setup. thanks for any help.

Yes. It will work. Use the Legacy 110 119 channel list. Only need to run one feed from the Quad

[freecharlie]

Yep, works like a charm! Have had no problems with the stream change; my legacy LNB still works great!

[nasakar]

Yes, been working for over a year now

Just wondering if someone could help a Newbie finding a
"Legacy 110/119 Channel List"! Also does someone happen
to have the specifics used for a PanSat 2500A while using
a Legacy internal switch LNB???

Thanks in advance,

SuperDud

PS - The reason why I'm asking is because people are stating a
Legacy LNB will and will NOT work???? Just want to try it out for
myself to put the confusion to rest (Atleast for my purpose)...

Okay you guys say that a Legacy twin with bulit in sw21 switches does work with fta boxes.Just plug in cable from one side does it matter which side? and someone also said you you just need the correct setting ! What are they?...Now I have read that the voltage on FTA are not enough to use dishnet lnb with swiches other than the dish Pro 500 model with some software tweaking. Any answer to all the above would clear up a lot crap!r

[beanerspeed]

:) This is for fortec 110-lnb- standerd, lnb local-freg 11250,22mhz on, diseqc tone B, lnb power on, tp12224v20000,postioner disable 119 the same execpt tone A

No, it will not work with a FTA, you need a dishpro doble lnb (the one with the black sticker that saids DP.
It will work with a single satellite (almost always 119) if you want both with one losing the signal in one or the other you need the DP.
Trust me I spent almost a week trying to make it work.
By a DP for @ 20 dol on EBAY.

Ok, I'd like to know what the settings are for using a dishpro quad. I've found that you can get some of the channels but not all. I am using pansat 2500a.

[Qbanfighter]

I have a Dish 500 with a DP quad do I need to used the diseq with it or just conect it to any side 119 or 110?

[Marcos]

No

[Marcos]

Setting for the Dp pro:
LNB setting:
119 Ecostar 7:
LNB power-------On
LNB TYPE---------SINGLE
LNB FREQ---------11.250
22MHZ-------------OFF
DISEQC-------------1.0
COMMITTED 1

110 ECHOSTAR 6,8
LNB POWER----------ON
LNB TYPE--------------SINGLE
LNB FREQ--------------11.250
22KHZ-------------------OFF
DISEQC------------------1.0
COMMITTED-------------2

[old school]

Yes. It will work. Use the Legacy 110 119 channel list. Only need to run one feed from the Quad

So, you absolutley have to use a dishpro channel list in order to get all channels using dishpro lnb? When I do a blind scan without a list, I only get some of the channels...not all.

[dscrd]

if you have dishpro lnb, best to use dp channel list,
been running my coolsat with a legacy quad,legacy channel list, no problems here, once in a while get a channel that takes a couple of seconds to load , but other than that works great
