Most of the people telling you to chill out are people who think it's possible for everyone to speak a different language and have a different culture in the U.S. Soon enough the different societies that make up the U.S. will want to declare independence since there seems to be growing anti...

Satellite Alaska is located here in Anchorage near Spenard Road. John sells mostly Dish Network equipment, but he might also sell some 1.2m dishes, but since he is not a Directv dealer he may not have the right lnbs.

The majority do have dishes they are Dish Network dishes. And they are only 30inches which don't come with a big price tag. The 30inch dish is only around $100 and it will get you the Echostar 119 satellite only. So you can have some movie channels, 120 package or less, locals, and sirius...

Kodiak would have some pretty limited options for installers. If you have an ACS store down there they do offer Dish Network and the HD channels with some crazy equipment costs. Maybe see if they have other Dish Network retailers besides ACS and shop around if money isn't much of an object...

Let me see if I can answer your questions about the Directv equipment. You'll get 1 1.2m dish for free and if you want HD programming you'll need 2 1.2m dishes the second dish will have to come at your expense. Each dish includes 3lnbs upgradable all the way to 5 whitch pretty much makes it a...

Well I tried, GCI is different in Anchorage I don't know where you are at, but lite speed can be easily upgraded. Make note that Alaska is a blackout area for some Directv channels like Miltary and a few others. Of course Directv won't tell you this. You can take a look at Dish Network if you...

I have GCI In Anchorage so it myst be cheaper here with the ultimate package I get almost all channels except family and sports for about $100 get 3mbps with unlimited downloads. So they have changed and the change is likely coming to your area.

I had Directv for a month, but it didn't work out because once it was installed the wind knock it out and when I called them after 3 times nobody could come out to fix it . So I gave up Directv is not ready for primetime in Alaska and Hawaii. So for now I have to reccommand you choose Dish...

But can I use this Dish for Echostar satellite 110?

So I can use this Directv dish for Dish Network programming as long as I'm using E* recievers.

The lnbs on the Directv dish are for satellites 99, 101, and 103. At lease for the dish in Alaska and Hawaii they are.

Had a quick question. I have a 1.2m Directv Dish and I no longer use it. It was for satellites 99, 101, and 103, but I was curious if this dish is capable of locking onto Echostar satellites 119, and 110? Since I was also a former Dish Network customer and moved to cable because I need...

I had trouble with Directv myself after switching over from Dish Network in hopes of getting National Geographic and the Military channels. It didn't work when I first ask directv if we can get Military channel in Alaska they said yes with the total choice plus package, but after installation I...

Although yesterday was there last chance. They had their shot they didn't show. But now I need to go on the roof and make some coaxial cable changes. In Alaska Directv uses a 1.2meter dish and Dish Network uses a 30inch Dish. I need to go up there sometime this week and plug the coaxial...

No they didn't leave any contacts. They were just a couple of kids that did the installation. It's over anyway because I gave one more chance for today between 8am and 12pm they said they would send somebody out to recalibrate the dish and nobody showed up for a third time. If you can believe...
