What model dish do you have?  If it's an older dish then it's not compatible with all of the DirecTV Satellites. You need a Winegard Trav'ler or DirecTV Slimline dish to receive those channels.

That dish only gets the KU band you need the Ka, you need the KVH HD11 or the Intellian s6HD

It will still receive the MPEG4 channels from the 101 sat but the problem is there will be no local channels on the 101 sat when DTV finishes the shut down of the MPEG2 channels and they will need MPEG4 receivers to watch them.
