Any info/pics on D* new Phase 3 oval dish?

[rolou21]

I keep hearing about a new type of antenna for D* reception called "Phase 3" which put simply enough has a 3 lnb setup w/multiswitch already built into the unit. Sort of the the E* twin....Any inof/pics would greatly be appreciated....Thanks :D

It looks EXACTLY the same as any other D* oval dish minus the switch on the back...

My bad...erroneous information removed.

Sorry for the confusion...

Actually, the Terk you showed isn't a Phase III dish. The Phase III has all 3 LNBs encased in a single plastic housing, and not 3 separate LNBs like the picture shown above.

Here's a picture of an unassembled Phase III dish from 18inch.com. You can see how the LNBs are all-in-one.

I have the new oval dish which is actually 18.1 " by 20.4 " . So far works like a charm. DTV install guy claimed that internet would be available at some point, possibly on the 110 slot. Not sure he knew what he was talking about.... anyway here is a link that tells more about the dish:

He didn't. Internet requires a two-way link. Possibly a downstream only internet, but it would be VERY unlikely and relatively pointless since DirecTV already has a two way service and a downstream only service...
