Had a Dish(Dish network) setup with two separate dishes, one for 72 other for 61.5 with legacy LNBs and a single sw21 switch and a VIP 211K receiver. Thought it would be easy to change to a Bell setup with a 6131 or 4100 receiver. Can't seem to get a signal from either sat. The setup with dish worked until the switchover so can't see why reaiming the dishes shouldn't work. Do I need new style lnbs to work with the bell receivers?
Bell uses the same lnbs
thanks for that. I will try connecting directly without the switch and aim each dish individually.Quote:

Where are you?
And as Nobodyspecial pointed out, you must be within 200 miles or so South from the US/Canadian border to get a useful signal in the US from Bell 91W and 82W, when they put the new satellites up for Canada they moved the footprint for those satellite further North.
Yep,sure ticked off the snowbirds
