    Directv International Dish

    Tnx, guys for all the input. Sounds simple enough. Ice, what do you mean the 95 is boresight and the 101 is offset? Don't they split the difference so to speak? E_V

Fta uses linear polarization, vertical and horizontal, combined with a lower frequency range. (appox. 11.2 to 12.1 Ghz.)...

    DTV signals. . .

    The reason is DirecTV does NOT use DVB format!! Therefore, a DVB receiver will not see the transponders, let alone any actual channels. El

    Here is the web site link for the FCC rule. FCC Fact Sheet on Placement of Antennas I hope this is not too late to help or maybe get a decision reversed. There is also a clause regarding unreasonable cost to make any changes, etc. Good luck, El_Viejo
