New dish, LNB and fresh connectors and cables solved problem

I use the bottom left bolt to adjust tilt. The bottom right bolt looks like it should adjust dish pointing, but this bracket has pop rivits installed and it looks like there isn’t much adjustment possible

I checked transponder one, and the tuners one through five registered in the high 80s. 99 CA was in the mid-40s. 99 CB was in the 60s. 103CA was in the 70s I tried adjusting the tilt up and down on the 99 and the 103, and just couldn’t get above those numbers. moving the dish slightly left...

I am on my first RV trip in 18 months. In the past I have set up my DIRECTV system scores of times. However on this trip I am unable to acquire the 103 and the 99 satellites, although I am able to watch TV. I always level my tripod and get the azimuth, elevation, and tilt numbers from the...

I have a Genie HR44-500 receiver and directv dish that travels with me in my RV. I am on the first trip I have taken in 18 months and I am having setup problems. I use a tripod to set the dish on. I’ve set this dish up scores of times. I set the tripod up and level it, then set elevation and...

It turns out that the dish had been bent. Although it wasn't necessary, I purchased a "ready to install" kit. Once I assembled the unit, I was able to get all sats acquired with better signals than I had with the old dish. I have traveled with the old dish for many years and, over time, the...

I installed the DIRECTV SL3-SWM SlimLine Single Wire Ka/Ku Triple LNB and proceeded to aim the dish. Got the three satellites acquired with good signal strength, but had to set the elevation at 43, rather than the 35 that the DirecTV program provided.

I have a DirecTV Slimline Sat. dish with an DIRECTV SL3-SWM SlimLine Single Wire Ka/Ku Triple LNB. I travel with this dish and set it up on a tripod. I'm in a windy area and before I could properly secure the tripod, it blew over. I was able to get the mounting bracket replaced and aimed the...

I'm attempting to aim my DirecTV dish. I've found the AZ, El & TLT and set up the dish on a plumb support. I'm looking for 101, 99 and 103 from Southern CA. I have been able to get a good signal on all three birds, tuner 2, but not tuner 1. Any advice?

Okay, guys. Thank you.

Awhile back, I upgraded my DirecTV receiver. The technician that came to do the job replaced my LNB. The old one, a five-lnb model, had deteriorated. The replacement has only 3 LNB's. When I try to aim the dish, I have 101, 103 and 99 sats. I peaked 101. then 99 from memory. I then...

Just got situated in Southern Cal. Got ss of 80 & 90 on all birds after a little "dithering". I'm getting smarter on this stuff.

two signal strengths on 101, top in 90's, bottom im 80's 103 top was high 50's and bottom mid 90's. Same for 99. Reception appears to be fine. All channels are available and picture clarity is tops.

I just aimed my DircTV slimline 3 dish. I peaked the 101, then 103 (ca), then 99 (c). Somewhere along the line, I got a page that had an advice box that had six boxes inside of it. The top set said there were errors in the 13V line on 99, 101 and 103. The bottom line said the 18V part was...

Here we go again. We had some winds and our dish needed to be repointed. When I started the repointing process, I peaked the 101, then 99(c), then 103(ca). That's what seemed to work. I think 99(s) and 103(s) are spotbeamed and not needed for what I am doing. I haven't paid a lot of...

what about a 5 lnb vs 3 lnb device on the end of that radio arm? Is the 5 lnb device better?

Chip writes: "If he swapped a 5 lnb for a 3 lnb, then you can't get 110 or 119. The 3 lnb only gets 99, 101, and 103. " Is this bad? Also,I am also wondering why there's a 99 (s) and (c) and a 103 (s) and (c)

My dish is a slimline and, right now, has two cables running out of the LNB device. When the technician came to install my second receiver in my California home (permanently situated 5th-wheel), he removed the 5 LNB set because it had sun deterioration on the plastic parts. He didn't have...

You have to pretty much aim these things often just to keep up. Where I am confused is why I do not have 119 available any more. Now, I have 99, 101, and 103. My 5 LNBs have been exchanged by a service tech for what looks like 3 LNBs all encased in a single box. The front of the box is made...

Extremes of heat and cold plus just the right wind currents can cause all kinds of weird things to happen. Probably all started with an installer that failed to tighten things properly.

How do I aim my DirecTV Slimline dish Okay. I did peak the 101, then moved to 99 (ca) and 103 (ca) and peaked those signals. Ignored 99 (s) and 103 (s). Please excuse me if my memory on this isn't correct. I don't want to go back to the aiming process for fear I'll screw something up. One...

Haven't had to aim my dish for about a year, but I am traveling now and aimed my dish today. I am wondering what the process is now that the 119 bird doesn't seem to be available to me here on the Oregon Coast. Looks like 99 and 103 need my attention. I am recalling from memory of how I aimed...

Got my satellite dish aimed. The input you fellows provided was a big help...thanks

JDSpencer & Jimbo Thanks for that input. Any importance having to do with which cable goes to which receiver port. Also, the receiver has several different input and output "thingies" I assume the USB port is to connect to a computer, as is the ethernet port. As I understand the s-video out...
