Funny as Stargazer has the rumored image as his/her avatar. LOL!
Proc said:I meant to ask the installer if the Slimline will use the same mounting set up (mast and foot plate) as the AT9.
Anyone know?
Stargazer said:Next should be the Dish 500+ and Dish 1000+ if I can get some pictures
dodge said:That is awesome the old at9 is bullshiot with that 2 pieces of coax coming from 110 119 lnbs going to the main 101 lnb. I odnt know how many broken coaxes I have replaced!!!
Crystal Pepsi Ball said:I couldnt get the AT9 dish because the installers stated that the tripod would not support it. Does anyone know if the new AT9 SlimLine dish will be able to be put on a tripod?
My thoughts have always been that SW1&2 should have been dropped in to those slots and the other decomissioned and brought back. I mean it is not like they "can't" simulcast MPEG2 & 4 without consuming the bandwidth. However, as much as I know, the folks at D* (E* for that matter) know far more than I.mjones1973 said:The speculation is the 110 and 119 can come off once all the MPEG4 sats are up and running.
Craiger1 said:Will DirectTV make a slimeline HDTV Mpeg 4 dish this year? The current one requires a pole and you cant install it on the roof right? Thanks, Craig.
charper1 said:The AT9 and the SlimLine dishes have LNB packs that will both support both Ku and Ka. MPEG4 AVC is codec/compression scheme DirecTV is moving toward. The SlimLine should be out late summer, but by the end of the year I am reading. The AT9 can also be mounted on the roof.
