currently have kvh r4 with dish 311 receiver. Can this replace the obsolete r4 without a receiver change?

If you go to the King Controls web site you can access the operator manual. In it you will find the KD5500 can use the ViP211z, ViP211k, ViP211 and the 411. I use it with the 211k and it works great. I would say the 311 is out.

Awesome product...I love mine. You do need the proper dish receiver to operate the dish. The 311 won't work. When buying the KD5500, it tells which receiver will work. I have the 411K. They are well under $100 at Camping World and Amazon.,

You should need only one receiver. You can program it differently for each sensor - up to 4 my base unit.

I am using it with a Dish 311 receiver so I cant give you a correct answer but a quick call to Dish tech support will give you the correct answer, just let them know it is a Dish 500. Sorry I could'nt give you a firm answer. Update: I just found out that if you have HD service you need to order the Dish Turbo HDTV RV KIT @136.99 , can be ordered from Amazon.

II have a HR44 genie receiver. It would not allow me to to change some of the options that I needed to get my receiver to work

Like the other reply, yes, "but" you will need to buy some extra equipment. Especially if you have/want a MRV setup. I suggest googling your model of receiver and researching the different setup options and suggestions. I'm not going to point you to any particular website or company, I don't work for them and don't want to suggest someone or something that may not work for you. Hope this suggestion/advice helps.

That is the Raynor model number. There will be an external receiver connected to it. I need the model of the receiver.

I just spent yesterday with dish, installing 622's cause next year most receivers won't get the east sat... Before you do this call dish to see if you qualify for the free upgrade... This comes with lnb but if you get upgraded fish will give you one for free

No problem. I upgraded my dish net receiver to one of the newer dvr receivers and keep the old original dish reciever which I put in my motorhome and I use the winegard GM 1518 for the motor home. Everything works great and is easy to use. You will have to pay net about $7 a month to use the 2nd reciever in the motorhome. When you move about in the motorhome to different geographic locations you will need to call DISH NETWORK and advise them of your new location (address and zip code) to get local stations there--this is a free service and takes just of few minutes.

Hi, all depend on your receivers, except HR23and H23,not need it. The rest need it, but if you have a genie system, then you will need SWM LNB. Peter

I don't think so. A list of compatable receivers is listed on King Controls website or wherever you can purchase the KD 5500. i use the 211K receiver and it works great. (Dish Network)

You can replace it with an RF remote, they actually put out an RF and an IR signal but you'll still have to point the remote at the receiver if your receiver isn't RF capable. Keep in mind even if your receiver is RF capable you'll still need to go into the settings on it and link it to the remote in order for RF to work if you even want it to.

No, the SWM16 is designed for a KA-KU or 5-3LNB dish. If you'd like to add multiple receivers, you may need to add the swm16 for applications involving more than 8 tuners. Visit swm8.com for diagrams and information. Or weaknees.com

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!
