Direct TV Satellite use for Dish?
I am in the process of moving from DTV to Dish, and I have a portable tripod dish that I use with my RV from DTV. Can that satellite dish be used with the Dish service box? Mike

We did the same a few times switching between the two sat services, didn't bother trying to use or convert the existing sat dish since we could purchase one cheap on Ebay or from other online retailers. We are currently utilizing Dish network for our satellite TV needs and picked up a new HD sat dish online for less than $50 delivered to our front door. Just a heads up that acquiring all 3 satellites with Dish network programming requires a bit more precision, starting out with a truly plumb mast makes the process less tasking. With Directv, as long as the mast was somewhat plumb it is relatively easy to dial in all three satellites.
