Afaik B.yond dish should work with old decoder. Just that the two cannot share dish.

You can have only one dish tho. Just that the dish will have a special LNB that can connect two cables (it's actually two LNBs in the same casing). But afaik, they're rare and most installer will give a second dish instead.

I realized that mistake earlier. As you said it needs the b.yond dish with a LNB that has two outputs. Do you have to specifically ask for it tho? For my b.yond they gave me a dish that has a LNB with only one output. But then I dun have a sub decoder. From my understanding, if you go ahead and split the connection on a one output LNB, it will appear to work until you try to watch a HD channel on the b.yond.
