Since when? I haven't had satellite service for about 5 years, but at that time the dish was just a purely passive device. Based on the wide aftermarket for replacement LNBF's ( http://www.prosatellitesupply.com/SA...s_and_LNBs.htm ) I don't see any mention of the receiver being keyed to the LNBF (since it would be that and not the "dish").
