Using Directv HDDVR versus SDDVR

[dontexas]

Want to use our HDDVR in TT instead of our SDDVR previously used.

Dish is 18 by 20 model AU2F3. HD receiver is HR24-100. Am I good to go ???

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.

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.

donno128 this is a 3 lnb dish....... Worked fine on SDDVR....

The oval dish is good to capture all three birds. The LNB may or may not be. What LNB do you have?

I'm guessing that the dish will only get the 101 satellite like the 18" round ones - so you won't get any HD programming, but the receiver will work just fine once you get the antenna setup correct. And while it will only receive and record SD, it will play back any HD content you've already recorded.
