Solved! Alex you are a star! and thank you so much for your help. He guided me through the signal meters on the DirecTV screen and was able to get this going. I was messing around with an external meter and nothing ever changed. Thank you again Alex you made me and my wife very happy, if you...

Thanks Chip, I am about ready to give up - this is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever done. I even just the dish down placed this in a parasol holder on a table, moved this to a wide open space, brought the TV, Receiver, PI down outside, made sure everything is level (with a spirit...

Hi, I have a slimline 3 dish in my main home in Phoenix with 1 H24 and 3 H25 receivers, I bought a slimline dish kit and installed that in my weekend home in Payson Arizona. This came with a power inserter, 8 way switch, etc. So a few weeks ago I installed this, hooked up a H25 receiver from my...
