Using Directv HDDVR versus SDDVR

Ivylog Replaced the LNB as per your suggestions. First timer out and have 1 question. In setup what dish shape do I select ? Thanks

There is NO HD available with that antenna. It will only receive 101, 110 and 119 and you need 101 plus 99 and 103. 110 and 119 are no longer of much use.

OP, if you replace the current lnb (for 101, 110 and 119) with a SL3 lnb (99/101/103) it will work for HD. Because of it's smaller size (easy to store) in the northern states and Canada the signal may be too week to get HD but it will still get 101 (non HD).

Do you folks with the Directv HDDVR 24-100 get a beeping sound when using the signal meter function? A DTV technician changed out my old dvr and I do not get any sound with the signal meter function.

You need the oval dish to receive the HD chanels

If by three you mean three several inchs apart then for HD you need to replace with a SL3 LNB which will bolt on. I use this combo instead of the large slimline dish and a expensive tripod.

Triple LNB probably 4 outputs? Then you should be OK. Will just need to run two Coaxnto each receiver. As an alternative I would suggest instead upgrading to a wireless Genie and a slave for each TV you want. This, among other things will only require one coax from the dish and allow recording up to 5 programs at once.

I'm not a Direct subscriber, but it sure sounds to me that you're good to go.
