Sorry if this is a dumb question, Will the new bird at 103w cause any problems with someone who has a phase 3 dish? I was thinking about replacing my 18 inch 101w dish with a phase 3 dish. Currently i have 2 18 inch dishes for 101w and 72.5w.

One more thing, I have 2 D10's with no plans of ever adding HD.
The satellites at 99 and 103 use different frequencies than those at 101, 110 and 119. Old =Ku. New=Ka.
Thus they're able to put them at such close proximity, without causing interference. In fact, DirecTV even has licenses to use these new Ka frequencies at the 101 location, on top of their current Ku frequencies. Right now they're not using the Ka 101 slot for any to-the-home programming, but they could at any time, and your current single LNB or triple-LNB dish wouldn't know the difference.
