Do you mean the DISH 500 with DPP Twin? If so, the two are compatible, however you will need a wing dish for HD pointed at sat 129.
Or do you mean DP dual?
What is your current setup?
Yeah, sounds like a DPP Twin. It has 3 coax connectors right?
If so, then you can simply use one coax from either the 110 or 119 connectors, run it to the 211's sat-in connector, and you're done as long as the dish is properly aimed and you do a check switch.
Though, you will need a wing dish connected to the LNB In port of the DPP Twin, aimed at 129, for HD.
In your case, it would be a second dish with a DP dual or single lnb pointed at 129. A coax would need to be run to the DPP twin and run a check switch to get receiver to see the wing dish.
Yeah, it's a second dish, such as the DISH 300, which you would use a DP dual (single LNB) and aim that dish at 129, and connect that sat's output to the LNB In on the DPP Twin.
Then of course, there is always the option of the 1000.2 or now the 1000.4 with the western arc LNB, and of course there is the option of eastern arc with the 1000.4. Depends on if you want locals and which sat your local feeds are on. Looks like most of Iowa uses the Western Arc (110/119/129) but I found one market that uses Eastern Arc (61.5/72.7/77.)
