Will Dish Wally work with older KVH?

[johntelling]

We are planning to switch our house TV from DirecTV to Dish, and currently have an older DirecTV receiver in our coach. Does anyone know if the Dish receivers (Wally?) will work with a KVH Tracvision L2, installed in 2005? I know we won't get HD.

Thanks,

JT

KVH could give you the most accurate answer.

John,

Jim is correct, call KVH. However if you are going to Perry there will be several vendors that can answer your question.

There was a KVH R4 on our MH when we purchased it. We use DISH. We were happy with it for several years. I do know there are two keys (on our model anyway) to switch from Direct to Dish.

All at once it quit finding the satellites. After some checking we found that Dish had done some type of Voodoo to their satellites. The KVH system we had would require some type of upgrade. I contacted KVH and was informed the fix was to purchase a newer system. 

Since then some new and improved circuit board to fix the problem may have been made but I haven't heard of it. Hopefully, I hope will get hammered from many directions and informed there is an easy fix, but I haven't stumbled onto one.

Our solutions was to purchase a Tailgater. As mentioned, call KVH first.
