I have a Direcway DW6000 Internet system. I would like to find the correct DirecTV kit to attach to the dish. My assigned satellite is G3C at 95 West.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where to look for this Kit? It is supposed to be the "D" kit, but I can't find this anywhere online.

Thanks,
Jim

Most satellite retailers can order this kit if they don't have it in stock. Because it is so new, it isn't in many of the quarterly catalogs yet. The "D" kit, also known as the "101 Kit for G3C" is distributor part number "DWUK-95"

There are a couple folks on ebay who sell these kits regularly though I'm not sure if they have the "D" kit listed but probably can get you one real quick.

Caveat - I do not like to sell and/or install these kits for two reasons:
1) If you are forced for whatever reason to change satellites in the future because of satellite overload, new obstructions, etc., these kits will likely need to be changed to different kits.
2) Remember the installer must peak on DirecWay rather than DirecTV. Since cross-polling and other factors often come into play, you'll likely find your DirecTV signal is NOT as strong as having a separate DirecTV dish. I've seen many cases where the DirecWay was peaked but the non-adjustable kits rarely got better than a 75-85 signal whereas a separate dish had a mid-90's reading.

Hope that helps.

Thanks SouthernSky, that is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the caveat, too.
