Any 5LNB Dish out there besides AT9?

[barnone]

Anyone seen other 5-LNB dish besides AT9? I heard Andrews and Cal-Amp also making them.

I have read a 2nd design is on the way, not sure of the makers, but one style now and a 2nd possibly on the way.

A 2nd design ???

I like that idea, keep us informed if you find any more info about it

Well I am no where near the authority; maybe Scott and Longhorn may know. I am sure I read (what I just posted) on this board somewhere.

I believe the second generation AT9 is supposed to be a little more streamlined, not quite as big a sail as the current one.

Thanks, thats exactly what I thought I read.... LOL, I bet you were probably the poster.

YES! The new "AT9" is actually called the Slimline, 35% lighter, looks alot as though the AU2 and the Primestar dish had a baby. I saw it in a video in our weekly tech meeting, the pres of D* called it "sexy"! No dates are floatinjg around our office as of yet.

Wow an 8mo old thread resurrected. Here are two of the more popular and updated threads about what coming. There is also an older thread titled something like "DirecTV Upcoming Yearly Plan" or something close. It talks about their plans and upcoming products and services. The link might be inside one of these two threads they stay more updated.

No need to be sorry, just pointing you to some more updated threads that may hold better info for you.

Cal-Amp was the manufacturer of my dish and it is a standard AT9. Some people on the dbstalk forum are reporting they have had a Slimline installed, but so far they have not provided proof in the form of a photo.

Other than the folks who have rooftop installs, the slimline really won't make much of a difference. It's only slightly different in size. The main difference is in the manufacturing materials (lighter).

There are now pix over at dbstalk.com of someone who has a Slimline installed on his roof. I like the AT9 better!
