Most likely as the round dishes are obsolete.

It depends on what dish type you have there and the receiver model that you brought with you.

If the "old" dish is the 18" round, then it is obsolete as that is for the MPEG-2 feeds that have been shutting down since April 2019.

So if not that dish, do you know which one is on the cabin?

What model are you boxes? (which one did you bring to the cabin). That may affect how/if you can setup as well.
