If the new dish is SWM and the receiver is SWM only then the old dish won't work. Do you have one coax connected to a SWM labeled jack on your receiver? What model receiver do you have?
I just went back to Direct TV a couple of weeks ago after being gone for a while. The new dish on the house is a lot bigger than they used to be. I still have a small dish on a tripod in the attic for the TC. Does anyone know if my smaller, old dish will work with the current versions of service? Or, do I need to buy a new, mobile dish?
My HR24 (2 channel recorder) worked fine with either a large 2 channel HD dish, SWM (HD) dish or 18" 2 channel SD dish only. There was a different setup for each dish. The HR44 requires a SWM dish.
Also check that cabling to each TV is compatible. Plus SD vs HD TVs may be a factor. Lots to consider.
