I currently have DirecTV, standard def only (i.e. round dish pointed at 101). When the new HD tivo's come out, I plan to upgrade to HD. I already have 2 HD capable tv's, I just didn't want to invest in a HD receiver without Tivo capabilities (gotta have my tivo).

Anyway, I want to leave my round dish pointing at 101, and pick up one of the old style eliptical dishes for 110 and 119. The kind without the built in multiswitch. I had the foresight to get a Spaun 5802 when I set up my system, so I don't need the built in switch. Also, from what I've read, it's easier to aim if you use two dishes.

However, I can't seem to find one. Every place I've looked, they only sell the new phase III dish. Anyone know where I can pick one up.

Thanks!

Get out of your contract and go DISH. You can get no contract service cheaper than DirectTV with free equipment, free tuner and DVR as seperate boxes.

Wait a little longer for the 921 to be fixed.

Oops! We have been throwing away the singles in the recycle bin. I have an older 2 X dual LNB dish with an external multiswitch, further it is the type where you can add a 3rd dual LNB in the middle of the other 2. You can have it cheep + Shipping? But actually I am a nice guy, so I am going to have to direct you to what you really want for about $10.00 or less.
