No, you need the 5 lnb dish. Phoenix that would do it. 68 was the high here in Anaheim today.
 
well that sucks, I just got hired to work for directv but I don't start until Monday... I heard that 3lnb will do it but I figured you people would know more since you do more then just install, but live directv.
 
Yeah, but the nights here in Tucson are getting better. It doesn't stay hot nearly so long after dark and its cooler in the AM as well. The afternoons are still none too pleasant if you have to be outside though... :)

Edit: 78 here now at 10:19p local

82 back in my East Valley neighborhood tonight.

You don't like your SW US / Arizona weather? I think we have the best overall weather in the entire US. But sadly I just transfered out so I dearly miss it.
 
GREETINGS FROM TUCSON!

What are the odds three random folks from Tucson meet on the same page?

Charper...where in AZ were you and where'd you go?
 
I have a feeling we might not see anything till the END of september like last week to the last day :(

I am heaing a strong rumor that we could see channels 480 an 481 light up today.

No word on what wil be on those channels,

But you might want to keep checking those channels today. :)
 
Man what a bunch of losers. I have been logging the chat at the other site all night.

Here is just some of the crap they post there.
[sraider] Supervolcano what will be on 480 and 481?
[Supervolcano] Why do people insist on wanting someone to call directv?
[CabinFever] after 8am here eastern
[Supervolcano] When the channel comes to life, that's when you'll get it
[Supervolcano] simple as that
[Supervolcano] sraider all I can say is keep your left eye on channels 480 & 481 - cause they MIGHT light up sooner or later
[CabinFever] left eye on tv and right eye on pc
[sraider] Supervolcano ok hahaha
[Supervolcano] MIGHT is the keyword
[Supervolcano] MIGHT could very well be MIGHT NOT
[CabinFever] 50/50
[syphix] Supervolcano where do you hear that, and what MIGHT be on them?
[Supervolcano] so PLEASE do not go spreading that rumor to the forum or there will be 6,000 posts of "what's channel 480 and why isn't it turned on"
[Supervolcano] if it lights up, then feel free to mention it to the forum
[R.I Matt] I hate that channel 499 is now called "bband converter failure channel" though because it makes it seem like something is wrong with my bband converter.
[R.I Matt] when really i am ok
[Supervolcano] syphix 1) I can't say 2) I don't know
[MoInSTL] Somebody up there loves you...
[CabinFever] = nobody knows
[syphix] Supervolcano psst....you sure?? *slides a 5-spot across the table*
[syphix] Mr Lincoln can't help??
[Supervolcano] keep it
[syphix] Supervolcano* *
[wootoff] What is going to be on 480 and 481? (I dont subscribe to the premium channels)
[R.I Matt] especially since every day before now it said "bband converter test channel" ok i am done talking about it now. i know that i am ok, and i do not want to be repetitive
[CabinFever] lets all say 10 hail marrys ok
[MoInSTL] i guess no one remembers that jingle
[Peapod] no
[CabinFever] our fathers ?
[Supervolcano] R.I Matt actually i think that is the exact reason why they want to light up channel 498 - so customers will get to see a picture if the test passes
[Supervolcano] wootoff read what I said
[Supervolcano] I don't know what MIGHT come on 480 or 481
[wootoff] Why dont they put up the test channel on 499? If they dont have B Band hooked up they see the error screen and for those with b band hooked up see the slide show
[CabinFever] DIRECTV ReThinkTV
[R.I Matt] super volcano- awesome. i just wish they would hurry up and light it,* *
[Supervolcano] Please don't spread the rumor of 480 or 481 beyond this chatroom UNTIL something actually comes on them
[R.I Matt] i did not mean for a smilee to appear. doesn't matter
[Supervolcano] Guys, this is all very complex - I'd like to see you guys run DirecTV and accomplish what they accomplish
[Supervolcano] patience is a virtue
[Supervolcano] after all this IS rocket science
[BlueSnake] Supervolcano you didn't want me to post about 480 & 481?
[Supervolcano] *slap* BlueSnake* *
[BlueSnake] Just kidding!
[R.I Matt] i agree, just sick of being patient. but i understand they do not have an easy job.
[BlueSnake] My first slap, wow that hurts!
[Supervolcano] *slap* BlueSnake* *
[Supervolcano] *slap* BlueSnake* *
[Supervolcano] *slap* BlueSnake* *
[Supervolcano] *slap* BlueSnake* *
[BlueSnake] OK OK I'm awake now
[Supervolcano] my my, your cheek is pink
[BlueSnake] But really I'm starting to like it
[Supervolcano] DBSTalk S&M Chatroom is down the hall and to the right
[BlueSnake] ha ha ha ha
[CabinFever] http://www.satelliteguys.us/1039068-post194.html

[MoInSTL] I am heaing a strong rumor that we could see channels 480 an 481 light up today. No word on what wil be on those channels, But you might want to keep checking those channels today
[BlueSnake] Supervolcano it's about watching for 480 & 481 to light up
