Todays Satellite Deals Last Reviewed: 12-1-2008
Are you looking for a DirecTV HD LNB? You will need to select the appropriate LNB for your dish. There are 2 main dishes that support the HD LNB:
- DirecTV Phase II
- DirecTV Phase III
DirecTV Phase II
You can use the Sat-C upgrade kit. It will allow you to receive HD signals from the 110° satellite. Since it is an upgrade, it will be added to your current setup.
DirecTV Phase III
With the Phase III, there are 3 LNB’s connected to 1 dish. This will also allow you to receive HD signals from the 110° satellite.
Receiving The Latest MPEG-4 HD Signals
With the evolution of technology, DirecTV will be broadcasting MPEG-4 signals. MPEG is a type of video compression. With MPEG-4, DirecTV will be able to offer more channels in their line up.
If you have a MPEG-4 receiver (ie. MPEG4 H20 HDTV receiver) or are planning to get one, you should get a DirecTV AT9 Ku/KA Dish that contains the newer LNB block. It will allow you to receive channels on 99°,101°,103°,110°, and 119° satellites. With all these satellites that you’ll be able to receive, you’ll have the capability to tremendously expand the amount of channels.
