Compatability

[picman]

Just purchased a Direct TV dish (3 LNB) that i want to use to pull in Dish Network satellites. Is it compatible??
Thanks

no
Since Direct and Dish use different switches they are not compatible.

If it was the old Para dish (with the LNB missing from 110), then the answer would be yes

As long as you bypass the multiswitch and replace the Sat "C" with a standard LNB you can use it for two receivers easily, for more than two the multiswitches may be costly.

I suspect it's the current D* multisatellite dish, with three feedhorns and an integrated switch in one LNB assembly. If so, he's SOL.
