Just run it from the receiver to the dish, and remove the LNBF and screw the new cable on, and replace the LNBF.

Question by People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables: Can I replace a DishNetwork LNB for a Directv LNB?
I currently have a Dish Network dish on my house. I would like to go back to Directv want to know if I can just switch out the LNB’s on the actual dish? I understand that I will have to recalibrate the satellite and that’s not a problem.

Yes they can, you just simply rotate the LNB 90degrees to become on the hoz plane.

This adjustment is necessary every time you want to change signals, so either you have a dish per signal, or a motorised dish that can change it’s direction to suit what you have programmed.
