Russian TV Help

Dish Network cancelled the only network I watched on their Russian language package. Direct TV has now picked this channel up. I called DTV and was told I need a 'special dish' to recieve this satellite. Does anyone know what dish this is (they didn't have a name or model #) and the specs on it? I will have to mounit it on a pole and need to know the weight and the outside diameter of the pole needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Direct TV customer service was not much help.

maybe try any of your local reputable installers / retailers etc...

just a suggestion...

I should have added this previously... I had a local installer come out, but he had brought the wrong type of dish with him. Also, due to my homeowners association rules I will have to install this on a post in the yard rather than to the house. The installer did not know the specs of the dish I needed since he forgot to bring it...

Here where they are anyhow:

(maybe show this to installer(s) / retailer(s) - if they do NOT know by now)
