Circular vs. Oval

[ottergoose]

Now that I know it's possible to install DIRECTV myself, I need to know which type of dish to order - the 18" circle or 18"x20" oval?

I know the circular dish is easier to install (you need to rotate the oval dishes clockwise or counterclockwise), but I know the oval dish picks up signals from multiple satellites.

I guess it boils down to this: is the oval dish needed for the Total Choice package w/ Oklahoma City locals, TiVo and no HD?

oval dish is for locals in some areas, spanish programming and high def

Go oval to "future proof" your system.

You will need the oval dish for Oklahoma City locals. They are on the 119 satellite.
