Yes, there is no difference. I use a Direct dish and an Expressvu receiver at the cottage.
yes you can yes you can
YES
Both direct tv and Dish Network offer a DVR tryp receiver.
Yes, the receiver will still work.
Probably not. various dish LNB's use different switching systems between horizontal and vertical polarization.
You can use the dish but not the LNB; it will not work for dtv. The DISH Network LNB and the receiver decodes the signal and gives you a picture on your TV.
A DISH Network receiver can only work with a unique Smart card. The card in the DISH Network receiver that you are referring to would be the smart card.
Actually, you can use a legacy receiver with a DISH Pro dish. An adapter is needed at the receiver to get the proper signal for that receiver. No, Dish Pro is a stacked technology, which the older 3700 will not recognize.
only if you have an RCA output from the dish to run into the receiver. The receiver does not have the standard coaxial input.
You may not have your Dish satellite receiver on the correct channel if it is a duo (dual receiver). You will need to tune it to either 60 or channel 73. Also, make sure your power to your Dish Network receiver is on -- for the Dish TV duo receiver, you should see a light for TV2 and TV1.
Call Dish.
To get HD programming, you need a Dish HD receiver and a HDMI cord which connects from your Dish TV receiver to your HDTV.
