Need 2 dishes for HD

[KA3QOT]

Do you need two separate dishes to get HD with Direct, as you do with Dish?

No, the single Slimline dish see's all satellites from 99 to 119. The only time you need another dish is for some international programming or local SD channels in selected markets.

Do you think DTV has any plans to have only 1 dish required to get the International Programming just like Dish Network?
I just don't see myself putting another Dish up there for International channels.
I have the slimline (the new one) And I would have loved to get some international channels without having to add another dish.

Spanish and Chinese are on the main satellites.

It looks like there is a slot on the Slimline lnb head that could hold an lnb for the 95 satellite, but I haven't heard if that is what it is there for.

I wouldn't think so since if there was a way to do it I would have thought they would have down it by now.
