what model dish is this??

[theslag]

Hi all..

very quick question...

My old AT-9 dish finaly went, the one with the side car LNB. DTV came and put up the slimline but it only has one head on it that picks up all the sats for HD. What model dish is this???

Also, is alignment easier with this dish? The way the tech explained it was much easier than the old ones...he was in and out quick.

THanks!!

Well it is either a Slimline 5 or Slimline 3 dish. The Slimline 3 picks ups 99, 101 and 103 and the Slimline 5 picks up 99, 101, 103, 110 & 119.

Hope this helps a bit.

looking at the pictures above...i have the one on the right with the single head...it must get all the sats because I have a HR-20 and i get all the MPEG4 sats when i do a signal check....correct?

Yep, if you are not missing any channels then don't sweat it. LOL

So you have the Slimline 3 then, right?

D11 should see it as a 101 satellite it is not MPEG4 compatible.

As long as it is not a SWM Slimline 3
