| |  AT-9 Dish found: Thinking I can get HD @ the tailgate, is this correct?
I found this dish on the side of the road not to long ago  
After some research I discovered the lnb only tuned 99,101,103 and that it was often sold with a sidecar lnb's that picked up 110 & 119. 
I have an extra HR21 and wanted to add this to our tailgate, I just have three questions:
1. With my single LNB can I pick up the HD channels listed here and here
2. If I can't get HD programming will I at least be able to get SD channels via the 101 ( listed here)
3. What are the advantages of me upgrading to a diff sat that picks up 110 & 119?
I'm new to all of this so I'm still trying to learn what Ku/Ka is and how it relates to the satellites and the Mpeg-2 & Mpeg-4 versions of channels.
Thanks guys

3. nothing...unless your locals are on 119. What local market are you in?

| Hell yes, glad to hear...
Local market is Houston,Tx but the tailgate will be about ~200mi away in a market that has it's own OTA Locals that are easily available.

That's great news!
Is there any significant difference in size or weight between the one I currently have and this model? The current dish barley fits in the back of my coupe, I'm looking to cut down on size/weight if possible  |

I've run into a few issues during my walkthru that I need some help on. On the preliminary dish setup screen it asks for my dish type. I was under the impression I had the 3-lnb (18"x20") dish how ever when I selected it and I move to the signal strength menu I am unable to view satellite 99 only 101, 110, 119. What would be the best satellite option to choose since the only other logical options would be Slimline-3?
Thanks

If you're trying to get local channels for the tailgate party why not just use an OTA antenna instead of a satellite dish and an HR21 ?

Not trying to get locals, trying to get DirecTv programming. Preferably HD programming from the 99 satellite

Then you need the dish you first posted
The 2nd one will not get HD programming
