For some reason I am only able to get signal for sat 101, but I think I am not aligning right. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will try again

Guys I cannot get any signal on my slimline 5 (i decided to install this one). No matter how i align the dish, no signal. Could this be the LNB's are defective. I am connecting one of the lines to the HD receiver and the rest (3 left) are left one. What can be the problem

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the help. In conclusion: I will send 1 of the 4 output lines from the LNB into the HD receiver, lock in the signals until I get the B band converter. I also have a Slimline 5 dish, does this dish also have auto switch as in I can connect any of its LNB lines to the...

I see, but will the HD at least receive the signals without the b band converter until I buy it or get it from somewhere. Thanks

Thanks for all the responses, one more thing, I want to take a small TV and SD receiver into the roof to test the signal. Will the SD receiver receive all the signals even though it is not HD and currently I do not have b band converter. Thanks

Actually sorry it is not a DVR, it is just regular HD receiver I think H21 in that case not HR21. Do I still need 2 lines to go into this regular non DVR HD receiver or just 1 along with the b band converter

This is some good news because I did not have a 6x8 switch. So just connect any 1 of the 4 cables to the receiver and let the other ones stay unconnected. Also the guy who gave me the receiver said a B Band converter is required for the HR21 receiver, is this true. If its true, will I be able to...

I don't get it Iceberg, which of the 4 output cables go to the receiver if no switch is necessary. Sorry if I am asking a dumb question, I am new to this

Hi guys, I am having some problems installing my DTV dish. I am not getting any signal with a Slimline 3 dish and Zinwell 4x4 switch. Is it possible that this switch is not compatible with this dish? Or could it be that I am not fine tuning the dish enough. The receiver is HR21 if I remember...

Thanks for the quick replys guys. I have 2 lines from the lnb to the switch, one line from each lnb. The reason I had the switch, I used to have 3 receivers. But since I now have 2, going straight to the lnb is a great idea, thanks guys. In the future if I get 3 receivers, If I replace this 2x4...

Hey guys, I recently moved to a new address and when I setup my dish and connected the 2 receivers to the dual LNB via a switch, first month was working good. After a month, the channels watching on first receiver affected the second. Like if I put some channel on the first, second receiver I...

Hey guys. I have a Sylvania TV. The remote control isnt working. I changed the batteries, tried 5 other universal remotes and still doesnt work. So I concluded it must the be the IR sensor in the TV thats not working. How can I fix this? Can I open up the TV and look for a problem? I have...

Yes, its DRD430RG

Guys thank you all for your help. Now I have everything setup with my newer model receiver and get every channel. But with the RCA receiver for my second room, I cant get the internationals. Says channel not available.

Not using a meter, I have someone in front of the tv tell me the signal on 101 while I point the dish. I got 96% on 101 not sure If I even got 95. How can I find out without a meter? from the receiver only gives signals of 101 and 110. How about I directly connect the 95 lnb to the receiver and...
