Problem getting 95 west

[uranus]

I am trying to install directv for getting international channels. I have a round dish with lnb. I only get 101 satellite with 100% signal. I tried all day but could not find 95 west. Do I need oval dish or any othetr hardware? I rotated the dish all around and now am frustrated.
I would appreciate the help.

pardon my ignorance, what is STB?

STB short for Set top BOX

in other words, Reciever

You need a dish designed to receive the 95w sat(either the 36" round or oval type dish). You will need either a 4x4 or 6X8 depending on your set-up or location.

So I need to buy an oval dish which can get 95 nad 101 simultaneously, right?
Where can I buy that. Do I need any switch too. BTW my zip is 44136.
