Question Direc TV setup Help

Hi,
I have 2 six foot dishes and 2 Invacom Quad QPH-031 KU LNBs. ( one on each Dish)
I have the latest Direc TV HD DVR receiver and I would like to enjoy HD TV.
So will I need to buy a Zinwell WB68 and hookup my 2 dishes on it ?
I intend to point at 101 and 99.

Call D*tv, you are going to need 103 also. Call them and get the right dish and have it done right

(each with one LNB) on 1 receiver ?

Where did you get the HD DVR? Most times now when you order an HD DVR DirecTV will make sure you are all set up with the proper dish and everything you need.

I do not live in the US. I bought my receiver and it came with a 5 LNB dish.
The 5 LNB dish is to small for me to get reception were I live.
For each Satellite , 101,99,103 I will need 3 separate 6 ft dishes to get good reception.
I want to know if I hookup each dish to the Zinwell WB68 will I get my system to work.
Right now it is hookup to a 6 ft dish on 101. I want to get all 3 working together.

Use the flex port on the 6x8 switch.

not sure, I re-read your posts and maybe you could just plug the lnb into one of the 4 primary ports.

You're probably not legally receiving DIRECTV service.

No help from me.

You don't usually use 6 foot dishes in the US to get DIRECTV service, I guess that's why I misunderstood.
