Well Direct TV came and installed my service at home which was a Genie and a Mini. the third receiver was also a mini so i did not have them leave it. I tried calling direct tv today and all the tech person on the phone would tell me is that my system will support up to so many mini's and...

Thank you for all of your help with this. hopefully tomorrow i can have it all figured out and get the right stuff.

Will the slimline 5 LNB work with the h25?

Thank you for your help, i talked to DTV on the phone and i don't think she grasped what i'm trying to accomplish. I will talk to the tech tomorrow and worst case i'll just order the h25 for my third box. My old dish antenna i made a stand with a pole coming up that a normal roof antenna...

I have two in my house but for the rv it is just one tv and i leave the receiver in the rv. thanks

thanks, is there a receiver and dish combination that would work best?

I just switched from dish to Direct tv and they are supposed to be installing it tomorrow at my house. I also use satellite on my camper. The person i spoke with on the phone with DTV said the dish brand tripod satellite for my camper will work with my new DTV box. is this correct? I don't...

Well third trip was a charm, I covered the two outer lnb found the 72 and then removed the foil and had 61.5. No 77 but I didn't notice any channels on it. The 72 was around 49 strength and 61.5 around 45.. I imagine I could tweet it and do better. Thanks for all the help. We just got set...

I got the dish from a friend. They had a line of sight issue with their roof mounted dish so dish just put up a new one. The receiver was purchased new just a couple weeks ago. I hooked it up in my house to activate it and make sure it worked. I did not do a check switch with the dish...

Thanks for all the help, I will try to get down there one afternoon if not it will be Friday. Hopefully can get it knocked out. Also looking at a satellite finder app I believe if I mount the dish where it shoots back over where we park the camper I can see the western arc birds. So worst...

Thanks brussam, so you saying with what I have now I should get all the satellites if I point it correctly, I don't need any thing else.

Still new at this, what exactly is the multi switch. Is it needed for just one receiver? Right now I am running from port 1 direct to the receiver. I have a meter ordered that should be here this week. I was running transponder 9. Does it need to be different? I did a check switch before I...

I drove back down this afternoon when we got back from the lake. I was still only able to find 72. It peaked at 60. I ran check switch and that's all that showed up. On the dish pointer screen if I change it to 61.5 all I get is wrong sat.

Line of sight seems good, have a tree top slightly west but I believe 72 should be the most west bird. Port 1 showed 72, ok. Port 2 and 3 both had con and X I believe. I left the skew on 64, how sensitive is skew?

Carried my generator, box and tv down this afternoon and tried pointing the dish. I covered the two outer lnb and found 72 with about 55 strength. Uncovered the lnb and had 0 for the others. I tried moving slightly left and right but any movement over probably 2 degrees dropped my 72 down in...
