Three LNB's? (1 Viewer)

[Ed St. Clair]

On the DirecTV HDTV site it is suggusted that a three LNB dish be used. Of coarse nobody sells 3 LNB dishes.

Has anyone checked-out RS SAT C up-grade?

It's goes $59.99.

This is all based on you being able to 'get' the new sat..

Actually the satellite at the 110 location is not new. It's been there for a while carrying local channels in North Carolina. On Dec. 27, all of the locals were moved to the new spot beam sat at the 101 location. Rumor is that the HD channels will move to 110 when the new locals start on the 119 sat.

Thanks Robert,

Are you using a dual LNB to get 110?

We in the Northern California Bay Area 'just' got access to the 110.

I don't understand how you 'just' got access to the 110 satellite. It's been there for a while.

The old [It's new to HDTV for 'us']'bird' may have been in the air, but not all area's had access to the HDTV signal [according to some customers I meet also buying the RCA 38' HDTV]. We can now recieve HDTV from 110 [according to DirecTV].

Thanks for the reply.

[according to DirecTV].

If you have a reliable source, please post this information over at AVS Forum in the HDTV hardware section and DBS Forums in the General section. I've seen discussions at both places on this topic.

According to DirecTV.

I phoned the company. Could be they answered only yes to 'can I get HDTV'. And not if I can get HDTV from the 110.

Hope my TV get's here on the 30th. I'll call to get hooked-up and try to get a clear answer.

My 3 LNB kit is supposed to be here the 1st. I'll be the 'first on my block', as no stores in the area stock this kit yet.

Hope it all pay's off!
