Will a Dish Network Receiver connect to this unit?

The unit has 2 optical inputs and 1 coax input for digital audio, and RCA inputs for analog audio. So you'll have a couple of options with your Dish receiver: either connect it directly to the unit with one of those audio cables (depending on the outputs the Dish receiver has), or use your TV's Digital Out to connect it to the unit (not that most TVs downsample their Digital Out so it's better to connect the receiver directly to the unit).

Yes, I have it directly connected to our cable box. You should be able to use either an optical cable or the receivers audio outputs.

Any dish receiver will work as long as it does not require a broadband connection.If you cant get the receiver GM5000 to work. you maybe forgetting a step like I did. Start from scratch and follow the manual. What I don't like is having to spend an hour on the phone every time we move.

Of course not. The unit must be registered with Dish to receive signals. If you are trying to steal satellite service, you will have to find a different way.

It does not work with my Dish Network receiver, and it is IR controlled. I do not know why, but some cable and satellite receivers seem to have problems using IR repeaters.

I don't think so. According to the description, the receiver says it is compatible with current Dish subscription.

Call dish network and they will walk you throught the initial set up. Also if you don't use the receiver at least once a month you will have to go through set up each time you use it. So be sure to turn it on and let it aquire satalite signal at least one time every month

As long as you have an active receiver and the dish is pointed in the right direction it should work.

I regret that I am not familiar with "dish receiver" technology. You may go to the Pyle website to ask this question.

you need a dish network account and an activated dish network box/receiver.

Yes. They are both hi-def receivers and this is a hi-def dish. You will also need an LNB for the dish. You can get a SWM LNB, this is current type of LNB, or you can get an older style LNB that has four outputs and requires a B-Band converter for each receiver. Search "SWM technology" for a more detailed explanation of how it compares to the older technology. Good luck!

I'm not sure. We bought it to go with a HD DVR receiver (Directv). However, neither the LNB or the dish worked. Directv had to replace both. I wouldn't recommend this product.

My sister has it hooked up with her cable and it works great. I have Dish network and cannot get it to operate with any of my sets. I can get it to operate the TV's but not control their box, which is of no use to me.

Yes, but keep in mind this package does not contain an LNB. If you currently have a dish with an compatible LNB you may be able to remove it from the current dish and install it on this dish. If you currently do not have a dish with an LNB for your receiver, an SWM system (SiWM) or SWM SL5S LNB that uses the single wire technology with power injector will be needed.

I have no experience with Dish Satellite Network. It is prohibited in the apartment where I live. I would presume it will work on most stations. The MDR516h is sensitive to copyright restrictions which applies only to some movies in broadcast media.

Cheryl,Only if you want to hook up more than 3 receivers. The dish has three outputs. If you want 4 or more you would need the DPP44. The connection instructions for 4 or more can be found following this link: http://www.prosatellitesupply.com/pdf_files/DPP44_Switch_Installation_Guide.pdf, Good luck. Howard Welch

Not sure - it did not work with Dish. The TV worked but the satilite did not
