Using E* dish for D* receiver, is it possible?

[Fgsilva]

Hi,

I currenlty have 2 dish 500 up on the roof connected to 4 E* receivers. My question is, if I have the dishes pointed at D* satellites (though I think D* also uses 110 and 119?), can I connect a D* receiver to it or are the the dishes specific for each system? I'm considering switching to D* and I don't want to have to bring everything down from the roof and put new dishes up there.

thanks!

If they use Dish pro tech, no. If Legecy you will be able to get 1 Sat 101...better off if you go D* to get a phase 3 dish....

If you are switching to D* the dish is included in your installation.

I would just use the Phase-III dish D* provides to avoid the hassle.
