Somebody told me that is posible to convert Dishnetwork DP-301 to Telstar5 receiver and I don't know how.
Anybody have any idea about this.
I have some experience on the Dishnetwork but Ku system is new to me.

I'm not familiar with that model, but, I don't think it is possible. D-net recievers are digital while KU is analog. The signal for KU is beamed down vertically/horizontally while the signal for D-net and DTV is circularly polarized. Totally different systems. It might be possible with a Primestar dish and KU reciever.
