I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum.

I have a spare Directv dish and an active Dish Network receiver. Can I use the Directv dish to get a Dish Network signal?

I ask because I am setting up a tailgate this weekend and I have always just signed up for DTV service for the football season for my portable set up, but could save some cash by simply using my current Dish Network account. Instead of buying a Dish Network dish, I was hoping to simply use the DTV dish to get the Dish Network signal.

Can this be done?

Thanks for any info.

It depends.

List the model numbers of the Dish Network receiver and DirecTV dish.

If you don't know how to describe the dish, post links to pictures.

Thanks.

The receiver is the Dish 322 and the dish is just a basic round dish. It's at least 8 years old or so.
