i purchased an sl3 au9 slimline dish from solid signal. will work with the b band converter and h24. easy to set up as you get the best signal strength on the 101 and tweak to the 103 and 99.only takes minimal adjustments.

Got Hd and Sd.....

Problem cured Gentlemen, The ice Storm in Georgia gave me a day off to resolve my dish issue. I replaced the bbc. No change in 99 or 103 ca or cb sats. No signal in either. Changed out brand new lnb for another new lnb. eureka. Initial signal strength in the 30's. Quickly dialed in 90's on...

Yes, hd duplicate channels can be hidden.....under "display" portion of settings. Found it un the h24 manual.

Getting back with jumbo and hutch. The receiver was activated the day of the first attempted install. Is there a way to switch the receiver to show standard locals instead of Hd? Or both?

we'll see on Monday when parts come in. thank you very much for help today.

the H24 is supposed to be mpeg 2 enabled for standard definition as well......I have the basic D* subscription w/ locals. when i scan the channel list, i get the channels in the 70's and 90's, 604 (pursuit channel), some spanish channels, no standard locals and not high def channels.

i recall having 95 or better on transponder 26 and all other transponders on the 101.

While we're at it, we've established the BBC is for changing the band widith to HD quality for the receiver. Bad BBC / No HD. but why would i not get standard definition locals ?

i've removed the bbc and the results on each satellite are the same as if it's installed.

thanks much texasbrit. I've gone from dumbfounded and frustrated to very optimistic. Results soon !

Thanks Joe. In conbination with your advice as well as Jam3s and Raoul, i will have a new bbc and lnb on Monday to swap out and make another attempt at adjustment. Something tells me that it's gonna light up like a christmas tree. I'll post back the results.

what's throwing me is the fact my signal strength is so good on 103ca and nothing on 103cb or 99. I've dithered the dish in two locations (geographically) with the same result. Something is commonly wrong in both setup locations.

i do not have access to another installation. I was thinking the reciever is right out of the box, so it's not likely it would be bad. Of course you could say that about the BBC and the LNB also.

I'm new to the forum and reaching out for help. Been a D* customer since 1996. called to upgrade from standard def to high def a couple of weeks ago. Tech comes out to the house and says due to OSHA regs he can't go up on the roof. My line of sight opportunity is in one area only, on the roof...
