Locals in HD - LNB/Dish Issue?

589 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  veryoldschool
I had my second service call yesterday to check into why the my MPEG-4 encoded locals in HD sporatically work on my HR-20. While I took the whole day off from work the service tech actually came at 11:30am instead of the 1-5pm window!!....

After explaining the issue of the locals in HD only coming in occasionally he asked if I had the 'older dish'...he informed me that this is a 'known issue' with the older dishes and the slimline dish fixes the problem seen...

I am hoping he is right and had to schedule another install for this dish, because obviously it would have been too easy for him to have that in his truck already...

Anyone heard of this being the 'root cause' of the HD Locals issue...??

Yes. If you currently have the old standard dish, you will need to upgrade to the new AT-9 Slim-Line dish to recieve your local HD broadcasts.
I do currently have the DIRECTV Five LNB Ka/Ku Dish Antenna for MPEG-4 Compression HD Programming (AT9)

Are you saying that now anyone with this dish will HAVE to get the
DIRECTV Five LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line Dish Antenna for MPEG-4 C HD Programming (AU9-S)

?? If this is the case DirecTV royally misled anyone with the AT9!!!:mad:
