CHANGE LNB'S FOR HD
I currently have a older AU-9 3 LNB dish that was left on my house. Now that the HD programs have changed to differant
Satelittes, Can I just change to a SL3 4 output and use the same back plane and make no other changes in my wiring?

Here are photos of the legacy SL3 and SL5 LNB assemblies for the AU9 dish. The SWM models would have only one coax port.

peds I do not belive I had referanced the smae lnb as I stated that I had the older AU9 3lnb. The 'new' 3 lnb is the SL series from what I am reading and seeing.
Thank you to both you and dcd for the answer. This will help in setup.

I'm a bit confused. The AU9 is the Slimline. See link. http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=au9-sl3-swm&d=DIRECTV-AU9-SL3-SWM-Three-LNB-Ka/Ku-Slim-Line-Dish-Antenna-SL-3-LNB-Combo-(AU9-SL3-SWM)
Do you by chance have an old AT9 Sidecar dish? See link. http://www.amazon.com/DIRECTV-Satellite-antenna-outdoor-ku-band/dp/B000YN9AM2
If so, I don't believe the SL3 or SL5 will fit the AT9 dish, you'd have to replace the dish as well as the LNB assembly.

Maybe the OP actually has a 3-LNB Phase III dish?

Ahhhh, may well be. That isn't compatible with the SL LNB assemblies either. Here's a pic of the Phase III. http://www.amazon.com/PHASEIII-DirecTV-18-Triple-LNB/dp/tags-on-product/B0006DONR2
