Yes, but you'll have to run two lines from the dish to the 612 and you will be missing some channels as that dish picks up 119 and 110. most HD comes from 129.
You could gotta run 2 lines to the receiver. Looks like a legacy lnb on it. You will only get 110 and 119 tho so very very very limited hd programs.
Even picking up 119 and 129, it should work. Run a check switch test to make sure the receiver is properly configured for the legacy dish twin.
As mentioned, 129 is the big HD sat and 119 is the original Dish position so there are a good bit of channels in that config. Depending on where you are (east coast) you could aim it to the 61.5 and 72.7 location, making it a 'bastard' 1000.4 eastern arc dish w/out the 77 sat. As I remember, 77 is almost all local channels so you'd not get those, but if you are not in the designated city, you wouldn't get them anyway.

When you get back from tailgating, you'll need to run a check switch again (before and after connecting to your home system) to clear the switch matrix and reconfigure for your system.

You just need to rotate the dish about 8-10 degrees east and raise the elevation a couple of degrees and you will see 110 and 119.
It is not a dish or lnb problem, just a pointing problem.
