Rockford, IL Locals available, What Dish?

[jandkschneider]

I have just received a mailer that Rockford, IL locals are now available, however I need a seperate dish to accomplish this. How do I know where to point, what hardware do I need to integrate into by currrent system? What type of dish do i buy? Thanks for any assistance, I currently have a multi-sat dish with only A and B dual LNB's going to a Philips 5353 and Samsung SIR300 receivers.

According to Directv you will need a Mutisat Dish. If you have sat A and B on your Dish now, you should be able to get them from Directv. IF they are on Sat C 110 Degrees you will need the sat C kit , if that is still availible. OTherwise a new triple lnb dish on ebay are like only 39 bucks.

Rockford, IL needs a 2nd 18" dish at 72

No LIL are on 109.8w (DirecTV 5). The Rockford, IL locals will not come in with a PhaseII dish or a PhaseIII unless they have been moved to either 101 or 119. Thoses locals were on 72.5 (DirecTV 1).

According to my sheet here it says rockford will need the 3 phase. Will an 18" with a dual and 4*4 ms. work??

 

[charper1]

What sheet? Does it say a multi-sat installation or does it specifically say PhaseIII. 1 dish pointed at 101 & 1 pointed to 72.5 would be a multi-sat install.

 

[Mr Tony]

if you have JUST 101, yes a 4x4 and 2nd dish works fine

If you have the Phase II or III (as OP does), they need a 6x8 multiswitch and a 2nd dish

 

[Mr Tony]

according to a post at dbsforums, these are on 72.5 and need a 2nd dish
