I have ordered a SWM-8 LNB and was wondering if there is advantage to using the AU-9 versus the AT-9 dish.

The SWM LNB only fits on a Slimline (AU9).

The ONLY advantage of the butt-ugly AT9 dish is you are using 2 Cal-Amp dishes to get around a LOS problem.

AT9 dishes, with their flimsy sidecar LNB cables, are supposed to be replaced with AU9 dishes anytime they are encountered by a DirecTV tech. What does that tell you about AT9 dishes?

Slimline FTW.

yet, for most of us subs, we dont know which dish they have till we roll, sometimes a few hrs away from the warehouse. so yes i agree, but its not allways possable, anyone wanting to get rid of it, should call in for a dish upgrade, that way the tech will at least know to bring one, should be free as well.

LOL - The AT9's ARE the ugliest dishes I've ever seen. Whoever allowed this thing to be mass produced needs to have their head checked.

So you think this satellite dish is good looking?

I find it very distinctive looking. I'm sure people driving by mine (pole-mounted at the end of my driveway) must realize what a high-tech kinda guy I am.

However, I'd like to get it replaced because I'm not satisfied with my Ka signals.
