Using Direct TV Receiver On Shaw Dish & LNB

[telstar15]

Can I use a direct tv reciever on my old Shaw dish & LNB?

There are a few Shaw dish configurations. Which one do you have?

DIRECTV receivers are also varied; legacy, HD and SWiM-only. Which one are you dealing with?

In any case, a Shaw dish cannot be used to receive DIRECTV HD programming.

no
The LNB for Shaw is different than what Directv uses (receives different frequencies)

irrelevant. Shaw LNB is KU Band (11.7-12.2) so even if he has the original flashlight LNB the frequencies dont match
Even the new LNB (that gets AnikG1) is below that (11.2-11.7)

Add to that... Shaw LNBFs are linear polarity and DirecTV uses circular polarity.
