I've been wanting to test that myself but never had the opportunity so far. I know the Birdog works with Bell ExpressVu's (& DishNetwork's) SW21 and SW44 multiswitches so I'm tempted to say that it will work with DirecTV's internal switches -- don't know for sure though. :?:

PS: The Birdog also works through diplexers.

Yes guys, the birdog meter will work with the new Phase three dish. Just make sure you update you files on it. There are not many more channels available by using it. Only spanish channels, HD channels, locals (a few markets) NASA, RFD and BYU channels.

Hi Guys

What is the going price for a phase III dish? We have it for $99 but it seems to be a slow mover. Any suggestions?

hey Aaron,are you talking about the 3 generation lnbf direct files @ the top of the sat list on the configure page?

I just discovered today that the Birdog will work through DiSEqC switches -- although it doesn't switch the dishes; seems to lock onto whatever dish is configured as LNB1.

That is the going price everywhere that I have seen. The problem is that DirecTV is giving them away for free when they add local channels in your area. Local channels are coming here in the next month or so and I got the notice in the mail last week offering me the free triple LNB dish upgrade.

On a side note: on your satellite heading calculator page are those the numbers that I need to check line of site on in order to receive signals from the satellite? I am asking because I have DirecTV and I just got the free triple LNB dish but I am only getting a signal from 101 and 110. I want to try to find a location where I can see all three and wanted to know if those are the numbers I would need to check with a compass/clinometer because if so I am thinking about picking up that suunto tandem.

Later, Frank
