    phase II vs Phase III

    Lnb C

    Yes it does appear that way. I am just curious about sat 119 signal. I dont order anything forigen anyway. Perhaps that why it dosent detect. But I did just plug in lnb c like you said and it seems to be working. Just an update. I called DTV and order the HD package. Went out for a bit came...

    Lnb C

    Ok I ran the setup on the DVR HD 10-250. Yes I didn't need the combiner. I reset sat for a 3 lnb, it went through the setup and I got. In sat 1 and sat 2. 101 OK 119 not detected 110 ok Hmmm I see that it read the lnb c, but what is up with 119 degrees. Is the lnb bad?

    Built in switch

    Ok looking at my dish I do have a spot for LNB C. I pulled of the protective plastic cover and saw 1 input. I assume that is for HDTV. So I am also assumeing perhaps my dish does have a built in switch. How does someone check for that. Is there something I need to do?

    Built in switch

    Thanks ok I see. Just having trouble getting anything on 119 degrees. If my 101 is pointed correctly shouldn't 119 also be there?

    Built in switch

    Sorry to be posting on subjects that seem to repeat themselves. I am trying to learn as much as possible. Here is a question. Can someone explain to me the built in switch I hear about on dishes. How do you check for it. Is there something you need to do to use it etc. Thanks
