My Directv dish looks like this but has a different looking lnb. It's about 2 years old. Says Slimline on it. Will the heater work? How can I find out which dish I actually have? Thanks.

I have the same dish. The heater works well. You will need to place the wires on the front of the dish rather than the back side.

the heating element fits the reflector part of the dish only, not the LNB. Just make sure you order for the round dish or the oval reflector. good luck!

No. This dish is only compatible with dish network. I know there are others compatible with direct tv but I can only answer for this one.

Direct TV equipment will not work with Dish and Dish will not work with Direct Tv it is there way of keeping you with either company.

Most all the incidences I have read about pertain to the Dish remote. I have Directv HD and no problems. The TV is AWESOME.

I couldn't get it to pick up anything. I returned it. I bought the app DishPointer Pro for my android and point it at the sky to find the 3 DirecTV HD satellites. We live in RV and move often. I have Direct's SlimLine dish for Genie, and I can have a signal within 5 minutes using the DishPointer Pro app.

Yes, this dish will work with the 95W Linear Satellite Signal (Vertical) from DIRECTV. It is the only dish you would need to get the DIRECTV channels from the 95W. It also includes an LNB for the 101W (Circular) which is used for activation, and receiving guide data. Both LNBs should be connected. A 4x4, 4x8, 6x8 or SWM switch should be used to combine the two satellite signals (95W/L/V and 101W/C)

so make sure you have the settings correct on your FTA satellite box for this LNB type, check your receiver manual if necessary. if not set correctly you will not get a quality signal. Since you are only replacing the LNB, you should have no problem with acquiring a signal, but also make sure you set the LNB to the correct skew. Best to use the "quality" signal scale on the receiver as you are moving it (the signal level just provides power info to the LMB and back not satellite signal power, so use the quality scale, they both work hand and hand but when you have a good high quality signal you will have the best capability for the system not to rain fade on you and have picture break up). Also move the LMB towards and away from the dish on the bracket to see if you can also get a better quality signal. Remember the signal change will take a little time to move so don't rush the movement of the LMB, do it slowly. Show Less

Everything you need to receive Standard DirecTV at your RV.-The hardest part is "pointing" your disk to the south for reception. Takes a while to get use to how to do that. Look up the coordinates of your campground for DirecTV signal. They are on the internet. Then point to those coordinates then tweak until you get the reception you want.-This dish is for standard DirecTV reception and NOT (HD) High Definition Cable. Works regardless but you will not be able to get HD channels. Those dishes are considerably higher and hard to find.-You will still get hundreds of standard channels based on your package you bought with the service.-Excellent product once setup.

you do have to have a satellite dish. hope you have better luck than i did. i got one it did not work. sent it back and they sent me another one that also did not work. i have another receiver so i know it is not my system. There support team just said they knew it worked so I just took the loss.

Living in Utah it is a battle every year to keep snow off the dish. This is money well spent- have not had to deal with the problem. I do have Directv. I told a friend that has directv to order one and it did not fit her dish. I think I got lucky but measure your dish.

I have Dish and have never seen anything like that. Are you sure you have your settings right?

To be honest, I don't know. Here is what it does. It looks around for the 101 satellite. When it gets that locked in good, it twisted the dish for 110, 103 & 99. The LNBs on the tree receive the various satellites. It does this wonderfully in the USA. Now if the European people are using the frequencies that DirecTV uses and their satellites have the same juxtaposition, you have a winner. You need to research what frequencies are on the various DirecTV satellites and on the European satellites. If the LNBs use the same frequencies and off -axis satellites match up, the dish will lock in IF all that works, the receiver will, of course, work. Please note, the "receiver" will be from your service provider, not Winegard. The Winegard mechanism does a wonderful job of finding the satellites - that's all. Looking at all the Ifs, the probability is low.

I don't know about Direct TV but I had no problem with Dish TV. I would recommend calling the manufacturer.

Awesome product...I love mine. You do need the proper dish receiver to operate the dish. The 311 won't work. When buying the KD5500, it tells which receiver will work. I have the 411K. They are well under $100 at Camping World and Amazon.,

I'm not sure. We bought it to go with a HD DVR receiver (Directv). However, neither the LNB or the dish worked. Directv had to replace both. I wouldn't recommend this product.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. They will tell you how it needs to be setup and how it works. There are no written instructions available even though they advertise it as a 2 reciever dish.
