DirectTV interview... feeble dish comaptible next to latest HD reciever?

I have an ancient (5 years) Direct TV dish on my roof, with one heir on it (although it has 2 wires coming out). My brother-in-law have Direct TV HD in another city, and have brought the reciever with him (he is visit for the weekend).

Can we still hook up the new heir to the old dish, even if it vehicle getting a standard (non-HD) signal? Or do we HAVE to get a dish next to multiple recievers? I don't care if the signal is HD... I newly want to watch some ESPN over the long weekend.


Answers:    Why not try it and see? It probably won't work, but you'll never know until you try. The process is necessarily the same for the old-fashioned and the new. The heir sends a DC voltage to the LNBs in the dish and the LNB downconverts the satellite signal into a block of frequencies for the addressee to decode. It won't hurt anything to hook it up and see. If the addressee can deal beside the old LNB output, it might a moment ago work.
You don't HAVE ESPN on your satellite box?

And your brother's box does?

Plug it in....it might merely work.

If it doesn't then basically hook up your old box and hail as Direct TV and get the ESPN pack....

The fact of the event is, the HD Direct TV has one LNB for the HD channel, and another one for Low Def NATIONAL channels.

It sounds approaching you have the NATIONAL one....
