Thanks, Jimbo. it is not the same dish..at home it is the new swm8 and that dish is connected to 5 receivers, including the one i took in the rv,which works at home. on the road i used a slimeline 5 and directly connected it to the h24-700...nothing, no signal...yet when i attached a self powered sat finder meter to the dish, it instantly found 101 with a 90% signal! I changed rg6 3 times and still nothing....
Easy fix.
You need to go into the Sat set up to reconfigure the dish set up when you change locations.
When your home, the LNB gets the voltage from the Power Insertor thats tied into the SWM set up. If you go into your menus you'll see the DISH settings say SWM when your home.
When you go to the other location, the recvr is still set on SWM and it doesn't see the same voltage (no power insertor) so it searches.
You need to go into the Repeat Sat set up section and make the change to the one that says Slimline 5.
Go to :
Menu- Set Up-System Setup- Sat and Antenna-
Repeat Sat Set Up - dash-
Once you get the recvr set up on the SL5 dish you'll have access to change this setting.
Highlight the Dish Type and hit select and it will give you a drop down to find Slimline 5
Also change the Switch Type to Multiswitch
At this point continue thru the process and you should be good to go.
IF your wanting HD , you
will need your BBC's when on the SL5 set up, but NOT for the SWM set up at home.
