LNB Question

[tjwagner]

I have the H20 and a 3 LNB DTV dish. If I buy a 5 LNB dish so I can get the locals in HD, is it an easy install/switch out that I can do myself? In other words, will I need to run any additional cable through my attic?

The AT-9 antenna is the same as the old Phase III with regards to cables: you need as many cables as your receivers have inputs, up to 4 max, at which point further expansion is done with multiswitches.

If you are very very technically capable attempt it yourself otherwise let Directv do it.
It can be done but it is not a simple upgrade that many should try.
