Can you guys help me figure out the correct settings?

My dish is

[FONT=verdana,helvetica,sans-serif]DIRECTV Five LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line Dish Antenna for MPEG-4 C HD Programming[/FONT]


I have an WB68

My receiver is a mHD-DVR - HR20-100

Thanks!!

What do you mean by "TV settings"?

Settings on your actual TV (display) or do you mean either the dish's azimuth, elevation and skew or the receiver's internal settings?

when i go to satellite setup, it asks for my dish type and switch type. im not sure which one i use and there is a pretty large list of dish types.

i live in south south texas is that makes a difference.

OK so you need the internal receiver / dish setup.

You have a multi LNB / 5LNB and you DO NOT have a SWM

I was choosing LBN3. Do the degrees matter? Because I know that 3LBN was there 3 different times with a degree after it. Do i choose the normal 5LBN?

It also had Slimeline-3S (SWM) and Slimline-5S(SWM). I tried all the slimlines settings and kept getting errors on the setup and it would make me change my settings.

If you don't have a SWM and only have the one dish, use the Slimline-5 setting.
