Will a round satellite dish receive high def? (1 Viewer)

[Luis M]

I already have a round satellite dish installed for direct tv and I just bought the RCA Scenium 65" tv, which has a built in HD decorer as well as a direct tv receiver.
Will my round dish receive HD programing or will I have to purchase the oval type?
I am posting here, because so many people frequent this forum .

Copied from DirectTv's FAQ section:

An oval DIRECTV Multi-Satellite dish is also needed to capture HDTV and other programming we broadcast at 119 degrees West Longitude (WL) and the programming we broadcast from 101 degrees WL.

Yes, it will...if...you have TWO round dishes and one of them is pointed at 101 and one is pointed at 119.

 

[James Reyes]

You don't need an oval dish if your 18" dishes are pointed at 119 and 101.

need a second dish? I've believe I've got an extra one I'd part with cheap.

Luis,
Take a look HERE for two dish configurations. I will be setting up my second dish in the next week or so.
