differnece between these 410's

[mike74820]

what are the differences between these 2 recievres DSR-410MN and the DSR-410DS, fixing to buy one need to know what one works best with w5 since it looks like my 920 just died, all it does now is gives me a bunch of differnce squares on the picture and when the picture does show up it looks like a water fall in the picture

Always understood 'DS' stood for Dual Source (Sat & CATV).

The MN rear panel looks the same though, so don't know.

I heard that they are the same. I do not know for sure but possibly one suffix might have been an old GI designation and the other Moto. A lot of documentation online has both the DS and MN listed without any further distinction. The DS does stand for Dual Source and possibly the MN stands for Minnesota and is a receiver for cold weather areas???

LOL...iceberg will have to use the Minnesota model...LOL....i wonder if the "MN" has a power output for the de-icing heater on the dish?
