Truck Satellite T.V.

I see you have the older dish. Not sure how much longer those will work with DirecTV. Once they switch over completely to MPEG4, you might lose some channels unless you upgrade to the wide-oval dish.

 

An oval 3 should get all 3 satellites and any ch. you could need.

 

DonHall - thanks for the pics! I am definitely interested in setting up the satellite because I plan to go OTR - can't live w/out my L&O reruns I really appreciate your help!

 

LKAT.....you might want to check out the thread in this section about the Slingbox.....I know that's the way I'm going now.

 

Wasn't DonHall that posted the photos, but me

 

I had one of those "OVALs" while I was working on the Gulf Coast, but I was never able to align it properly, even with a D-TV guy out working on it. I suspect that the LNBs were bad. I havent heard anything about DTV switching over to MPEG4 or the necessity for using an OVAL. We only had to switch over to an OVAL at home in order to get local channels.

 

oh duh me! Roadkill, my apologies! I think I posted that the night after I took my DOT CDL test. I was a dreadful basket case. I will sentence myself to more blind-side parallel parking I do appreciate the pictures - thank you!

 

HDTV in the truck???Are you sure you need it? I mean, I have an HD READY TV in the truck; a 20 inch LCD Flat Panel that has a picture 1000 times better than a CRT using standard broadcast technology. But I am sure that in order to receive the HD broacasts from D-TV, you will probably need an oval 3-LNB dish.
