Sorry I deleted the original message. The Actisys 200L will work with 
Dish Network Echostar receivers (at least some). I am using one here

someone's site that has config files and minimal instructions. 
Unfortunately, I can't find the $%#* link to the site either right now 
:( It can be done though.
