It will probably work.. But it is not needed. But 98% of the dish installers will tell you . That you need to replace the RG59.. The 2% that won't or either new. or don't care. Or are lazy.. But you do need to replace that..
Assume that it will not. It might work, but if you're using RG11, you absolutely DO NOT need an amp.Will this same inline amp work with the new system?
How do you know this? Are you up and running with a modern DIRECTV (SWiM) or DISH Network (DPP) receiver?#1 The RG59 needs to be replaced even though it works 100%.
If you can't give us a make or model, we can't ascertain its capabilities. It would be irresponsible to say one way or the other.#2 Nobody knows if the inline amplifier will work or not.
I think the real question is does the amp cover the frequency range of the newest HD systems. I don't know what the frequency range of the old SD Directv system was.
The main reason I put that amp in was because of the joining of two different types of cable and the length of the RG11. In my early coax LAN networking system installation and maintenance days, there was a problem at every joint and kink in the cable. Even a file cabinet sitting on the cable caused a speed bump that would reflect signals back and screw up the timing.
I put the dish way out on the edge of a high bank to avoid trees. It is probably more like 200 feet of RG11. At the time I think I read that 100 ft of RG6 was the max. I bought a 500 ft spool of RG11 and I still have some left. I dug a ditch with my backhoe and buried two RG11 lines in the ditch. I even put a 120v line in there for unknown future equipment.
So I put the $5 amp inline as insurance and it worked 100%. They make the amps for Dish systems too and I was wondering if the old one would work or if I needed a new one.

If you have the modern SWM antanna lnbs, they use 974-1790 Mhz for the guide and content and a separate 2300 Mhz stream for communication between devices. So, you are working with similar frequency ranges with the Dish system running 950 -2150 Mhz.
