Wally Questions

[TheKrell]

Are Wallys compatible with the new Hybrid LNB that goes on dish antennas?

They are. I have it on good authority that you can use channel stack splitters to put 8 Wally's on one cable from a hybrid LNB.

Some people say Hybrid LNB work with old VIP receivers but I heard it won’t last long. Hybrid LNBs are made for Hoppers/Wallys only.

Hybrid LNBFs are retro compatible with DPP technology, so any DP/DPP compliant receiver will work fine on one. Whoever said that they will stop working is wrong, unless a new Hybrid LNB model gets released. I have gone as far back as connecting a 322 to a Hybrid LNB with zero issues.

My guess is that Hybrid just means the lnb is capable of band stacking, but if the receiver does not need band stacking, it acts like a normal lnb.

If by normal you mean DPP and not legacy/voltage switching, pretty much.

They work but they're setup to be installed with DPP LNB's

After all the great help and answers to my questions in this thread, Dish does not have any Wallys in stock so I'm going with a Hopper-Joey configuration. But I really appreciate those that helped me. Thank you.
