KVH R4 or R5 PCB - RF circuit board

I have been in contact with KVH and we tried reflashing the RF board for my L3 dish. The tech said that my RF board needs replaced. I am looking for an R4 or R5 RF board or a KVH dish that has the R4/5 RF board in it. Or if anyone knows where I can get my RF board repaired?

Did you know that your KVH dish will soon be obsolete?  DirecTV is phasing out MPEG2/SD broadcasts from the 101ºW satellite during the next year. You'll need to switch to a Winegard Trav'ler or DirecTV Slimline dish.  And if you still have older SD-only Receiver/DVRs, DirecTV will swap them for free.

Right. You need to contact KVH. 

Just realize that dish will soon be obsolete.

I stated in my first post, when I started this thread, that I was in contact with KVH. They were the first people I made contact with. They suggested looking for someone that had a spare board or dish or someone that could repair my RF board.

All is okay, as of yesterday, I have an RF4 board lined up and and a free working KVH R5SL given to me.

I can use those until the KVH dish becomes obsolete.
