You will want a slimline 3 multiswitch LNB or slimline 3 SWM LNB dish for HD signal, depending on what type receiver you have.
Actually, you have to be careful since this definition could lead you astray.
With the older multiswitch technology the term Slimline 3 referred to a setup that could receive the satellites at 101, 110 and 119. Such a system will not receive the HD satellites at 99 and 103. (A Slimline 5 was needed if you want HD)
With the new SWM technology, the SWM3 LNB will receive only the satellites at 101, 99 and 103 but this is sufficient for most people since there is no standard English language programming carried on 110 and 119 anymore and this setup will receive HD.
