Hi,
We're headed out this weekend for a nice camping trip. We're going somewhere that doesn't have cable at the sites. In the past, I would take my directv box from home connect to my dish that i have in my trailer. I'm told that since I have the newer directv receiver, the HR44, my old dish (LNB) would not work.
I have no idea if it's possible to get the right LNB locally in the Sacramento area, and online probably wouldn't be delivered before we leave. We be without tv, but does anyone know if/how I can watch what we already have recorded on our HR44?. If nothing else, we can at least get caught on our favorite shows.
tks
You old antenna will (cannot) work. You either need to get the SWM3 LNB and dish or add a SWM8 kit to your old antenna. The SWM8 kit will make it work but you will still only receive the 101 satellite and only receive SD programming. It should be pretty easy to get a new antenna/LNB setup. Check with your local dealer or order one from Amazon and have it in 2 days or less.
