If you are such a good tech like you put on you would have known about the channel. I was offering you help if you want to make smart comments go somewere else.
dragon no didnt get the file and tate i am a damn good tech and i did know about the channell .as i stated i want something in writing to carry for my other techs. if you had read my first post i would think thats what you would have gathered dragon did.
dsat,
Sorry but I have to call you out on this, your first post says nothing about anything in writing or that you wanted something to take to other techs. You said you want to know what satellites it picks up and the specs on the dish which channel 592 tells you everything you need to know about it.

Wouldn't a real tech, and an installer for that matter, have to have gone through some sort of training on the new AT9 and received all they needed up front?
sbca sight has no info on the dish, also dtv sight has none. even spoke with a tech at dtv ,he gave me this sight to get the info. as i stated i am going to chicago this week the info is there not where im at. i am just trying to get a head start on the installation. training is being provided once we get there. tate let me apoligize for my replys to your post but i am having trouble getting paid from my former company and i was major pissed off the other day.as i have done some reseasrch on the dish already b4 arriving here i figured you guys would have the info . seems all some want to do is post unrelated stuff( not u tate) i cant believe no one said

I think no one ever posted it because we assumed a tech/installer knew all the basic info already.
• Dish surface area dimensions: 25.5" (h) x 29.5" (W)
• LNB arm with LNBS attached extends 23.5" from the dish surface area
• Weight: 32 lbs (including J-mount mast, dish surface, LNBs, arm and pole attachment)
• To be used to pick up high definition local channel programming from DIRECTV
• Four outputs carrying satellite signal from all Five satellites in the sky
• Heavy duty j-mount with 2" outer diameter mast opening
• Must use H20 satellite receiver to watch local channel HD programming (where available)
• Capable of receiving DIRECTV satellite signals on the Ku band (101°, 110°, 119°) and Ka band (99°, 103°)

That manual is the bogus version from the Solidsignal web site, why does it still get posted? Here is the current AT9 manual that someone else posted awhile back.charper1 said:

at9 Chicago ill. specs:
azimuth....204
elevation....40
tilt (skew)....76
Chicago is zone 2, it uses the center bolt hole for the lnb adapter.
notes:
the pole is 2 inch od and all new orders are shipped with the cross arm (stabilizers) and ARE to be used.
never connect a satellite meter directly to the 110,119 lnb .....ever.

DSATMAN68 should also find out what brand dish is used in his area, the manual differs a little between brands. The AT9 manual is for the WNC flavor.
