    New Receiver

    Thanks. Is there any advantage if I was to change my 5 non SWM Slimline LNB with a SWM 3 LNB would it work for both my H21 and new H24? Would I have to re-align my dish at all? If you were me I am not a techy would you leave as is and USE BCC for both receivers with splitter?

    I plan to use the old H21 in basement until it quits and the H24 will be in great room. At my age I don't accept change well, I don't record movies so just want the basic. So have no need or want for genie. I will try the Account Overview tomorrow, did not try that. Have you tried it? Bernie
