Are all these new FSN HD channels which are coming online in MPEG4 format,the reason I ask is this. I have a football tailgating satellite setup that I have been using that includes the old 3 LNB dish with D10 receiver which doubles as Kitchen receiver at my home. I am upgrading the D10 to a H21 so my wife can have HD in the Kitchen so will I get any of the FSN HD feeds when I setup the H21 with the 3 LNB at my tailgate and is ESPN HDs going to be in MPEG2 for a while? Do I need to get a 5 LNB now for Tailgating? I get my locals from Lexington,Ky. which appears isn't getting HD via the new Satellites for the time being so that not a worry with Tailgate setup and signals.

Thanks
Ron

You will need a slimline5 or slimline3 dish to get the mpeg4 from 99 and 103

The ESPN's will still be available from sat 119 in MPEG2, but not for much longer. Maybe anly a few weeks. The FSN's in HD are only MPEG4 which your 3lnb will not see.

Thanks guys for the info. I figured I needed to get a new Tailgating dish but I wanted touch base with you guys first just to be certain. Now if I can just figure out a way for DirecTv to give a Free Dish....:lol:

Thanks again
