Can 2 older dishes be used instead of a new 5LNB direct tv dish?


Question:
Can direct tv hd dvr be used in hd with 2 dishes instead of a new 5 LNB type dish?
I bought a direct tv hd/dvr from Best Buy, due to the fact that direct tv could not have it installed for up to 6 weeks.(But they gave me the one year free hd use anyway) I currrently have it hook up to and old style round dish and it works. But I want the Hd and multi station recording. I also have a used dish network- dish that read sat 110 and sat 119. Can I use the dishnetwork dish for the 110,119 and then reposition the direct tv dish to get sat 101. Has this ever been done before?.. The set up screen for the hd/dvr ask you if you are using muliplal sat or just one, so I quess it able to due this if the signal for the dish network is the same? I don't ant to buy a dish or wait for d/tv to install. Thanks for you help

Answer:
no, the older dishes are not compatible.
