Now that I have the new LNB(DP) for my old voom dish (for cbs-hd at 61.5), before I install it and add it into the DP34 switch, will I still be able to receive the voom programs ? Or should I wait till voom folds before I change anything.

Thanks in advance

I would wait until the end of Voom. The lnb will pick up the signals but I don't believe that your Voom receiver can handle the DP lnb. You might fry your receiver or the lnb. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I would wait.....I don't think the voom receiver would acknowledge DishPro

Will do ! Thanks again !

Correct - V* boxes can NOT deal with DP.

In fact, your'e going to have to hack up the V* dish arm to get the "D" shaped DishPro LNB to fit on it. You're better off just grabbing an old D300 pan from a local retailer - they usually have some lying around.

so V* dish's are set up like D* rectangular? I really do not know if anyone here in the local town has one...

 

[SimpleSimon]

Yes, AFAIK.

I also have the I-Adapter.

 

[Mr Tony]

The I adapter will solve that problem

I have one of those to put a single LNB on a Dish 500 (for 61.5) without having that dorky "Y" adapter and a hole.
