    5 lnb Slimline ID-ed as 3lnb Slimline by Tech

    Thanks for the heads up, Jason. When the time comes to drop 95, it looks like my wife will just have to learn how to use a chainsaw to take care of the neighbor's tree :D Rgds, Jim

    Hello Dishrich, You must be a mindreader. The DTV tech called me this morning and said he would be out tomorrow to swap my 5 LNB setup for a 3 LNB setup. Thanks again for everyone's kind input. Rgds, Jim

    I really appreciate everyone's comments. My question now is, if my 5 LNB +95 Slimline hardware will continue eventually to give me guide errors because it is set for a 3 LNB +95 in the HR 20-700 receiver's software, what should I do next? I do have the monthly maintenance plan. Should I call...

    Hi Everyone, I believe there's a 5 LNB setup on my Slimline dish. From left to right, looking from the dish to the sky: One is a large round LNB, next is a small round LNB, and the third is an oblong LNB with a "sun visor" on the top.

    Hello Folks, I was having problems downloading the Guide, so DTV phone tech support sent out a local tech. After determining that there was a tree in my line of sight for 119, he said all that was needed is to ID my 5 lnb +95 Slimline as a 3 lnb +95 Slimline. Is this a good solution, or...

    International channels moving?

    Hello, Can anyone answer the OP's question about sat 95? Regards, Jim

    Are the International Channels supposed to be low quality?

    My Channel 1 Russia has always been in SD, not in HD. On my HDTV it looks great. I believe "100% digital" does not mean high definition.

    NFL Sunday Ticket Poll

    No resub for me. The reason I subscribed in the first place, the Cleveland Browns, won't even have a team worth watching for the next 3-5 years. So, I'll take what my local HD FOX, CBS, and the "night" football channels feed.
