All right, thanks. So would I still need two wires going to each HR22 receiver, or just 1, so that I could still watch and record different channels at the same time?

OK, so my LNB has 4 cables coming from it. I need to change that out with the SWM one that only has 1 wire? Then I forget about the SWM-8 and the splitters that I thought I needed?

I've decided to just add one more receiver. I was hoping somebody could let me know if I am ordering everything that I need............ -DIRECTV SWM-8 Single Wire Multi-Switch With Power Supply -DIRECTV SWS-2 Satellite 2-Way Wide Band MRV Compatible Splitter (2 -2150 MHz) ------- Quantity of...

Yes, I am a do-it-yourselfer.............. The reason for 2 dishes: Installed the first when I was single over 15 years ago. That one is currently the older 18 x 20 Phase III (I think). Then I got married and the family grew. Put an addition on the house, and at the same time decided to put...

I have kind of a unique situation. I currently have 3 D* HR22 receivers in my home, served by two separate dishes. Each receiver has 2 coax going to it so I can record one channel and watch another at the same time. I have a "man-cave" with 4 TVs in it. Two of the TVs are served by one...

I've got four cables coming off the dish with two B-band converters on each receiver...................... Went up and peaked the dish yesterday, got the 99 satellite to read 90-95 on all transponders. 10:00 last night, searching for signal and all of 99 showed zero............. Any...

East central ND......

I havent' had a chance to make my adjustments yet..........it is windy, cloudy, and foggy here.........tonight I have all zero's on 99 (c). I would have thought if anything it would have dropped into the 20's or 30's, but was surprised to see zilch across the board. Is this just weather and...

Thanks for all the insight fellas........I appreciate it. Guess I will get the bucket truck out tomorrow and head for the roof. I've put up 10 or so D* dishes over the years, but this was just the second Slimline 5. I don't know what happened, because as far as I know, the other one works...

Is it normal to have so many that read zero? And to which 103 are you refering........all of them?

Thanks for the help so far everybody...........wondering if the following info will allow any of you to help me narrow it down to the closest possible problem. When I do a system test I get a diagnostic code: 43-416, with the message that I may dish may need some adjustment. Here are the...

HD versions............ Slimline 5 dish, HR24 receivers, don't know the LNB model off hand................ Signal strengths are mostly 70-85, save for a few transponders....................

I'm having troube with losing signal on certain channels......ESPN, DisneyXD, ABC Family, HBO to name a few. Wondering what transponder & satellite these stations would be on. And what is my likely problem.......Azimuth, elevation, or tilt? Thanks

I am wondering if there is a product out there that will split the signal from the HDMI output on my DirecTV reciever so that I can hook up to a second TV in an adjoining room? Or..........is it possible to hook one TV up with the HDMI cable and the other with component cables and be able to...

Thanks for the help! Just updated the software. I'll set the timer to record a few things during the week to test it out.
