Directv is dropping the ku band signals soon,perhaps as soon as April, and will be using only ka, so unfortunately your question is moot. Click to expand... Huh? They're dropping all the Ku from 101? That's not what I heard.

No they are NOT dropping Ku, they are dropping MPEG2 SD. They will continue to use Ku from 101 for years to come. However, the 18x20 dish being Ku only will no longer be supported by Directv. At best you'd pick up a limited selection of channels.
