Dish/LNB needed for Direct TV H20 receiver.

Looking for the right Dish/LNB combo to get HD with my older Direct TV H20 receiver (HD receiver).

Receiver has the BBC.

Thanks for any help.

Edit; I see this big one for up to 4 receivers.https://www.summitsource.com/DIRECTV-SL5-Slimline-Dish-Kit-with-LNB-Ka-Ku-Antenna-MPEG-4-HD-AU9S-HDTV-Satellite-Integrated-Multi-Sat-Tuners-for-Local-Channels-with-Built-In-Multi-Switch-Feed-Arm-Mounting-Assembly-P8519.aspxIs there a smaller one that gets local and HD content?

    Did you get HD with it before?



    No, It's for our lakeplace. We only used our SD receiver there but the old 480i TV died last week and I bought a new 1080P set so I'll be going HD now with The H20 receiver. So I need a LNB and or dish upgrade.

    You could also update to a SWM3 LNB but it really won't have any advantage with that particular receiver.


    Antenna? I'm sure you mean dish. Will this LNB work with my existing 20" round dish?
