What model number is your set top box / receiver? Are you currently subscribed to DirecTV? You're going to want the 5LNB Dish and a
HD receiver to receive all of their
HD programming including local
HD too.
This is Direct from DirecTV's website:
How do I know if I have the proper equipment and installation? What equipment do I need?
The only way to access the new
HD services is to have all of the following:
(a) Advanced
set top box:
DIRECTV HD receiver (models H20, H21) or
DIRECTV Plus
HD DVR receiver (models HR20 or HR21)
(b) B-Band Converter (BBC) to the satellite input of your
HD receiver (
DIRECTV Plus
HD DVR require two BBC's) or must be a new Single Wire Multi-switch installation without a BBC
(c) 5-LNB dish
(d) If a multiswitch is required, it must be a wideband 6x8.
DirecTV is currently updating the page that has the above information, so I used Google's cache (
DIRECTV: HD FAQs ) find the above info. Here's the original link which will probably be back up soon:
DIRECTV.COM
