AT-9 Dish found: Thinking I can get HD @ the tailgate, is this correct?

[neomoon]

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

1. yes
2. yes...101 is the "core" satellite
3. nothing...unless your locals are on 119. What local market are you in?

[neomoon]

1. yes
2. yes...101 is the "core" satellite

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.

[Iceberg]

OK...plus Houston SD locals would be on 101 anyways so you're all set

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

This is the old Phase 3 dish. It doesn't get the new hd channels that you linked to.

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 ?

[neomoon]

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

[Iceberg]

Then you need the dish you first posted

The 2nd one will not get HD programming
