dishpro 500 and dtv

[jimbbb]

will a dishpro 500 work with a dr221 or a 422 dtv receiver, also wondering what 2 sat do I aim for or do I need to get a triple lnb?

you can use your dish 500 to get one dtv sat only. the 101 is dtv's main sat. the dish 500 is set to pick up 2 sats 9 degrees apart (the 110 and 119) 119 degrees -110 degrees =9 degrees. I dont think dtv has 2 sats 9 degrees apart. i know they have 101 and 119 but thats 18 degrees difference so it wont work.

Considering even legacy dish receivers dont work with DishPro lnb's I would be really surprised if DTV receivers did.
