    H25-500 Tailgate Install Help

    Thanks so much to everyone that helped out. I was a little worried when I couldnt get any sort of signal at first but after adjusting the dish a bit I was able to get it pointed correctly enough and everything worked perfectly. I cannot tell you how many people were coming up asking me how I...

    H25-500 Tailgate Install Help

    What I was planning on doing is using the h25 with a tripod (which I do have) with the swm dish that I posted earlier. The gentleman that is selling it took a picture of the lnb to show me the swm sticker on it and he said he also has the power inserter for it as well. I have the tv...

    H25-500 Tailgate Install Help

    I would but I wouldn't want to sit there and mess with it since I obviously have no idea what I'm doing haha. I figured I'd go get it tomorrow and bring it home tomorrow night to mess with it. I wish i would have known earlier what dish I needed and hope I didn't wait too long to figure it...

    H25-500 Tailgate Install Help

    I plan on only watching live HD channels with no recording so I believe only one line will be necessary for what I need. Does anyone have a link to a setup guide and possibly a list of compatible dishes for my receivers? I am extremely new to satellite and pardon all my questions I just like...

    H25-500 Tailgate Install Help

    Would using my DVR receiver be easier? It's model # HR24-500. I was hoping to be able to just buy a dish and inserter and just hook everything up and as long as I found the right dish alignment, get reception. If anyone lives in the Columbus, Ohio area and would mind me "renting" their dish...

    H25-500 Tailgate Install Help

    I am looking to use my DirecTV service at a tailgate this weekend (if possible) and wasn't sure what all I need to complete the job. I have a H25-500 HD receiver, the TV, generator, and an HDMI cable to connect the receiver to the TV. Now as for the dish....I am a complete newbie when it comes...
