Tips on selecting your satellite dish

Just a five cent comment from me :)

There are two type of Direct TV dishes available to use for Direct TV HDTV receivers:-

1. 3 LNB
2. 5 LNB

The 5LNB Dish has the capabilities to aim at two new satellites that carry the bulk of the HD transmissions from DIRECTV, and this will give you more channels than the 3LNB is capable of receiving.

Hmm.. the choice seem to be obvious, right?

But if these satellites are not visible from your location, then the 3LNB Dish becomes a viable alternative for you.

FYI, both dishes are capable of receiving the HD transmissions.
