The E86 allows you to zip through all of DIRECTV’s over 225 channels using the updated Advanced Programming Guide (APG). Your friends and family will marvel at your newfound channel surfing abilities. The DIRECTV Triple LNB Dish allows you to receive all of the channels offered by DIRECTV, plus HDTV programming, Para Todos programming, and most local channels.

[c_fnt2a]> The DIRECTV Triple LNB Dish has the ability to provide viewers with incredible flexibility in programming selection. The DIRECTV Triple LNB Dish includes a 4-way external multi-switch allowing you to add up to four (4) standard DIRECTV receivers for exclusive multi-room viewing. The 18" x 20" DIRECTV Triple LNB dish is capable of receiving signals from 3 different DIRECTV satellites (101°, 119° and 110°).

Satellite 101° offers access to the base of over 225 channels of DIRECTV programming. These are the same digital-quality channels (and satellite location) you can get with the conventional 18" mini-dish. Many local channel offerings are also on Satellite 101°.

Satellite 119° offers access to Para Todos^TM programming, ethnic broadcasts, some local channel offerings and High Definition (HDTV) broadcasts. The number of HDTV channels on DIRECTV is growing and the future broadcast capabilities are astounding. The 18" x 20" DIRECTV Triple LNB Dish is the first piece in building your complete HDTV system. In order to take full advantage of DIRECTV’s HDTV broadcasts, you will need a High Definition receiver and a HDTV Ready Set. If HDTV is on your mind now, but not in your budget, a DIRECTV Triple LNB system is the right choice. Install the proper dish on your home now (the 18" x 20" DIRECTV Triple LNB Dish) and add your other components later to achieve true High Definition.

Satellite 110° will be offering select High Definition (HD) broadcasts. The number of HD programs offered from 110° will be increasing in the future.
