I left Cumberland a couple weeks ago and am now in Wellsville, NY The guy in the park I am staying had to go home for a few weeks and said I could use his satellite dish since he already had it zeroed in. I strung my cable over to his dish and can't get anything! I noticed he had 3 knobs in his dish and my dish only had one. He claimed he had to have the 3 knobs for HD. Well I had HD and only had the one knob. Question is why won't it work? Another question is, Direct TV wouldn't have me on a spot satellite like Hughes Net did to me would they? In regards to Hughes Net the guy I talked to when I told them to cut the service got rather nasty! I have had the service since September 2011 and he claimed I owed them a $290.00 cut-off fee. He then ask me what I had done with the equipment and I told him I had been parked in my sister's driveway and had left the modem and dish there where the Hughes staff could pick it up. Here is where it got nasty---he said it was the customer's responsibility to drop it off at Hughes!~ I have no idea where the idiots are located---maybe way down in Virginia! In any event they had been charging me a maintenance fee every month on my bill if I had trouble and they would send a man out! Never called them and they have the balls to tell me that crap!!!

If you had Hughes direct service, you had a 2-year contract with all of those provisions. Whether you honor the contract is up to you, but they do have contractural rights that they may well go after you for.
As far as DirecTV goes, dishes can have many different head styles. If you had DirecTV with a "single" head and had HD then you actually had a 3-head dish where all three heads were in a single oval LNB. Called SL-3
With a dish that looks like 3 heads there are actually 5, with 3 in the larger head. Called SL-5. You have to setup a DirecTV receiver for the exact type of dish it is attached to, you can't just switch around without going through setup.
