Alaska Dish Questions

I just purchased an Alaska Dish with the DTVAHKAKU, and the AZ/EL Mount.  I need to know a couple of things.  Will I need to use a SWM to get the guide?  What will I miss by not seeing 110 and 118 satellites? I really don't want to put up a second dish.  I am mostly interested in the HD and the 3D c

Alaska 1.2M dish and guide data

Does the Alaska 1.2M dish fitted with the specified LNB (DTVAHKAKUKIT) for 99/101/103 still require that it be paired with a dish that receives 119 for guide data?  The threads here and on other forums that I have read on this topic seem to predate the 3 LNB Slimline which apparently gets the data l

guide data not updating in alaska

It seems we get this 920 error randomly on all three of the receivers.  Some days more than others.  They have been doing it since we subscribed to Directv in 2008.  Not a big deal but somewhat annoying.   Seems like we have noticed if we get the error and acknowledge it, and then want to watch a PP

There are none as DTV is not allowed to broadcast outside the US. Alaska and Hawaii have to use larger dishes to receive DTV.

You said choices. Having OAN in Alaska or Florida is the same based on the service. This conversation is out of context now and has no more value. Have a good night! I am done.

DIRECTV dropping OANN?

How could you bow down to the WOK cancel culture demands to dropping OANN? They do not lie!  The "big lie of the 2020 election" is absolutely true. There is mountains of evidence of the election steal. All the misinformation comes from liberals not conservatives!  My husband and I will be

HGTV

I am so upset that HGTV is no longer on demand. Is it going to go away completely or just on demand? I will be changing providers if that is the case. I love everything about u-verse except your on demand. You have no choices compared to Comcast and as much as I don't like them they are offering gre

Question

No, this is the Alaska dish, part of a two-dish system. One dish receives 99/101/103 and the other dish (that connects to the first dish) receives 110/119. The only way you can use the 99/101/103 dish on its own is to connect it via four cables to an

AFAIK Alaska and Hawaii use a bigger dish and since the movers deal requires only taking the receivers to the new home then it should apply and AFAIK DTV sends the same national channels to all customers with only the locals and RSNs change.
