I am considering purchase of a DirecTv dish, described as follows on
EBay:
NEW Direct TV HD TRIPLE LNB Satellite Dish DirecTV FTA
I currently have a SD DirecTv subscription and use one of the early
RCA receivers.
Is there any reason why I could not substitute this dish for my
current dish, which is an early single LNB model? I assume there
is backward compatibility of this dish with my equipment, but
just wanted to be sure.
Thanks very much for your help!

Call someone who installs DTV HD and ask them to be sure but I would
assume there is backwards compatibility from at least one of the LNB's.
I've been a DTV customer since 2000 btw. Also i have a friend who dabbled
with installing a DTV HD unit and he had one hell of a time setting the
dish up. You may consider getting a pro to install it if all possible.
There is no self install anymore. All of the equipment is owned by them.
You buy the service and they send someone over with the equipment and to
set it up.
