Hi, I want if this dish network is compatible with X2 Premium HD PVR FTA Satellite Receiver - Special Edition or do you know anyone advice me?

My opinion from reading the reviews would be no, but that is only my non-professional answer. I would call Dish directly and ask them.

If you're using it for FTA, the answer is no. You'll likely need to change out the LNB to a universal LNB, because the polarization is different.

sorry - can't help - i just bought the stuff - my husband installed and did his woo-woo thing to get it to work.

Robert,Were you able to get this setup? If not, I live in Nassau and install these setups for satellite 97w. Were you able to setup for Dishnetwork or DirecTv as well?

I had been using the 612 receiver in my RV for the last year, and just upgraded to the Hopper last week. So I would say you can use any receiver Dish has. When upgrading to the Hopper, they did need to put an extra cable box in the line. It seems to be a 4"x4"x3/4" box that connects two jacks on the dish to the one cable feeding the receiver. (leaving one jack to send signal back to the bedroom receiver if not using the Joeys) Something about feeding more power to the dish elements. I will say the images are better, big Seattle downpour last night, no image interference at all!

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. They will tell you how it needs to be setup and how it works. There are no written instructions available even though they advertise it as a 2 reciever dish.

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

Works only with dish network. Must use the receiver vp211k. I purchased as package. Since you have purchased the equipment, there is no contract. It is prepay monthly only.Hope this helps.

As per Dish specs, the receiver will work with the OTA module. I use this same one on a Hopper and am happy with it.

You can't just swap your regular Dish satellite receiver with the Hopper. You need a Dish man to come to your home & replce your satelite & connections.

I'm not sure. It would make sense to get the HD antenna & receiver. If you ask Dish HD will be free.

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

I don't know??? I have VIP211k's and have no problems. I looked on both the DISH and Winegard websites and don't see a definitive answer. On the Winegard site I see one reference that say the X2 works with all VIP receivers, in the Q&A section it says... Q. What do I need to set up the Pathway X2 antenna? A. You will need a TV and an activated receiver with programming package. The antenna must be used with a DISH Solo HD receiver; examples include DISH 211k, 211, 411, and 211z receivers. I would call Windgard, their Tech Support folks are very helpful.

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!

Hello Thank you for the question. This item is used for dish network equipment. It is probably compatible, but sold to connect dish network equipment to the Internet. I don't believe this is what you need. Best regards

You are not giving enough information to help you. Is this the first time you connected it up? Are you aimed at the FTA satellite located at 97 degrees on the satellite arc? Do you live in the USA, (as I assume) or are you trying to receive some satellite in another country? I assume your X2-FTA box was JUST NOW INSTALLED... and you are trying to adjust to find the satellite? If you aim the satellite dish at the FTA "bird" located at 97 degrees here in the USA... you will receive about 200 channels that are NOT scrambled. If you live in a country other than the USA... you will have to research what FTA "birds" are available in your country. If, however, you tried to connect an existing dish-network or Direct-TV dish to this box (here in the USA)... then yes... all the channels are scrambled! This box is not a box that allows you to UNLAWFULLY receive satellite channels. It is an FTA satellite box. You must use a 36 to 39 inch diameter dish and aim it at the proper satellite to receive the Free-To-All channels. You can go to various FTA websites and research scrambled channels... or other issues... just do a search on google for fta websites.

As far as I know, any receiver is suppose to work with this particular dish. We have the 211K and it workswith this dish. I hope this helps. You can also go to the Oasis product info on Amazon and it lists the types of receivers it will be compatible with.Lynne

I don't believe so. In my case I use the MoCa between 2 of the legs of such an amplifier to create a network connection. It uses passive coupling which is present because the 2 legs are getting the same signal and works just fine that way. The other person trying to use it with a Dish Network installation may be running into problems due to the way Dish itself multiplexes two different satellite receiver tuner signals on a single coax cable. This uses up all the bandwidth.
