Second DishPro 500 for 148 location?

[Tyralak]

I have a DishPro twin dish going into a DP34 switch. I'd like to add a dish for 148, (mostly for Classic Arts Showcase) but I don't want to buy a DishPro single LNBF. I have a spare DishPro Dish 500 LNBF. Would it be possible to set that up as the 148 location and connecting it into my DP34 switch?

I used a Legacy Twin on my setup for 61.5....worked like a champ

A legacy twin? I didn't think I could use that in combination with a DishPro setup. Otherwise I'd have already done it.

I suspect Iceberg was indicating that he has a legacy setup using a spare legacy twin for 61.5. I suspect he'll clarify that but my suspicion is thats how he did it. I have to assume that E* receivers would have a difficult time dealing with a combined DishPro/Legacy signal.

yep. Sorry about that

You CANNOT mix Legacy & DishPro
