    3 dishes for HD Direct TV on the fringe?

    I am in the Florida Keys and the elliptical dish does not work here. I have two 3ft dishes locked on to two satellites with good strong signal and I get all of the stations except HD. I subscribe to everything. I have a third one foot dish that I am trying to lock onto the HD satellite with. I...

    Multi-Dish configuration for FL fringe

    OK thanks. Is there signal on 99 or 101 now, and if so, do I need it to get HD? I can get 37% strength on 103b and that is why I am tempted to try to figure out if a 48 or 60 inch dish will help. I found this elsewhere: To get most of the channels, you just need 101 for SD and 103c (same...

    Multi-Dish configuration for FL fringe

    I found this: So far we have five verified connection schemes to combine multiple dishes at different locations to receive signals from all DirecTV satellites through trees and other obstructions .... 1. Use two AT9 dishes, one sited to receive 99/101/103-deg W and the other sited to...

    Multi-Dish configuration for FL fringe

    I only have a high school diploma.... and even that was dodgy. I am getting some replies, but still don't understand which sats I need for HD and if a bigger dish will do it. Thanks.

    Multi-Dish configuration for FL fringe

    I have 3 dishes in the Bahamas. One 36 inch dish pulling in 119 at 95%. Second dish is 36 inch pulling in 101 at 95%. Third dish is jury-rigged with a 5LNB slimline head. I can get 103B only at 36%. I do not know about 99 or 110. Trying to figure out if it is worth it to try a 48 or 60 inch dish...

    Multi-Dish configuration for FL fringe

    5LNB Slimline install I have a slimline 5LNB head which I have mounted on a 36" dish in Exuma Bahamas. I get 95% on 110 and 95% on 119, but cannot get anything on 99, 101, or 103. Are these spot beams for Florida? And if so, am I out of range? Tks

    3 dish multiswitch and HD signal

    OK. I am considering the Zimwell WB68 Multiswitch along with the DirectTV 5LNB AT9 dish. It looks like I might be able to run coax from the the single LNB's from my existing 101 and 119 36" dishes.

    3 dish multiswitch and HD signal

    Great input. Thank you. I did not know that I would need the 5LNB dish to get HD. Is there anyway to get an oversized 5LNB dish so that I can get HD? I always have reception problems where I am located.

    3 dish multiswitch and HD signal

    I have two 36" dishes connected to an old Hughes Para todos multiswitch which allows four inputs from the two LNB's (8mhz and 13mhz). I get 95% signal strength from 101 and 119. I like the reliability of the big dishes and the ease of finding signal. I am thinking to install a third 36" dish for...

    Hughes reception problem in Florida

    99W or G4R, I think. (now G16?) It appears to be that the spot or coverage for this new sat differs from G4R, as we are on the "fringe" in Florida. Which sat should I go to? Is IA8 my best bet for the DW7000? If so, which transponder and how do I find it? My neighbor says 5deg down, and 5deg...

    Can I pull in ANY satellite?

    I have the DRD435 unit OK. I have this unit. Is there a place that I can find a list of stations offered here? Right now I use 101 for main suply and 119 for Latin stations. Is there any advantage to pulling off of 95 or 75 as far as signal or variety goes? Thanks

    Can I pull in ANY satellite?

    I see that elsewhere in this forum, someone asked about pulling in 95 for Indian content. I have Direct TV with the DRD435 boxes. The box only offers sats 101, 110, and 119. I was not aware that you could pick up other signals from other satellites. How would I pick up 95 or something else...

    Indian Channels? What am I missing? I have Direct TV with the DRD435 boxes. The box only offers sats 101, 110, and 119. I was not aware that you could pick up other signals from other satellites. How would I pick up 95 or something else? What type of box and LNB would I need?

    Receiver reccomendation please

    OK. I am open to suggestions. I get 101 and 119. Do I need 110 to get D-Tivo? If this is the future, which box should I get? Does Sony or Panasonic make a good one? The BestBuy website doesn't offer anything?
