Dish receives basic
DIRECTV programming on SAT-A. This may include local area programming in
select markets. Multiswitches used with this dish type are 2xn or 3xn,
3xn are used when using antenna or cable feed with diplexers. |
This dish may have two or
three LNBs. The SAT-C LNB may have been installed after initial
installation, connected with a SAT-C combiner to SAT-B as in the Gain
Master dish. Typically, a 4x4 multiswitch is used to combine either
SAT-A and SAT-B or SAT-A, SAT-B, and SAT-C. From the 4x4 switch, a 4xn
or 5xn multiswitch can be used to distribute to n receivers. |
Very similar to the Phase
II satellite dish, with the addition of an integrated 5x4 multiswitch.
The LNBs on this dish clip into place, right into the inputs of the 5x4
switch. From the integrated 5x4 switch, a 4xn or 5xn multiswitch can be
used to distribute to n receivers. All four feeds must be connected to
the switch in order receive all three SATs on n outputs, |
Dish LNB head has built-in
5x4 multiswitch to combine SAT A, B & C signals to four identical
outputs carrying all three SATs. This is the most popular DIRECTV dish
due its size and capabilities. From the integrated 5x4 switch, a 4xn or
5xn multiswitch can be used to distribute to n receivers. All four feeds
must be connected to the switch in order receive all three SATs on n
outputs, |
Dish integrates a built-in
switch to handle both Ku and Ka (99°/103°) satellite signals. This dish
receives exactly what the Phase III dish does, with the addition of the
newest satellite in the sky for local HD channel programming (in select
markets where available). The difference is, this dish can receive
MPEG-4 compression (better quality) HD content, which is the format the
new HD content is broadcast in. |
DIRECTV's latest "Slim
Line" dish antenna. Design integrates a built-in switch to handle both
Ku and Ka (99°/103°) satellite signals. This dish receives exactly what
the Phase III dish does, with the addition of the newest satellite in
the sky for local HD channel programming (in select markets where
available). The difference is, this dish can receive MPEG-4 compression
(better quality) HD content, which is the format the new HD content is
broadcast in. |
Dish does not come with a
multiswitch. The single output from SAT-C is combined with the 18V
output of SAT-B. The SAT-C kit, which includes the combiner and the
SAT-C LNB is included with the dish. All three LNBs come with the dish.
SAT-A and SAT-B are dual output LNBs, SAT-C is a single output LNB for
110°. Once SAT-C and SAT-B are combined, there should be four output
feeds from the dish. These four feeds need to connected to a 4xn
multiswitch to provide combined satellite feeds to n number of
receivers. |
This dish is primarily
used for DIRECTV"s WorldDIRECTTM International programming
service. This dish requires the use of a flexport type multiswitch.
There is only one available model for flexport multiswitches, the
SAM-6802 6x8 from Zinwell. The outputs from this dish are connected to
the flexport inputs on the SAM-6802. The other four inputs are for feeds
from any other DIRECTV dish. |
