New dish, LNB and fresh connectors and cables solved problem

I use the bottom left bolt to adjust tilt. The bottom right bolt looks like it should adjust dish pointing, but this bracket has pop rivits installed and it looks like there isn’t much adjustment possible

I checked transponder one, and the tuners one through five registered in the high 80s. 99 CA was in the mid-40s. 99 CB was in the 60s. 103CA was in the 70s I tried adjusting the tilt up and down on the 99 and the 103, and just couldn’t get above those numbers. moving the dish slightly left...

I am on my first RV trip in 18 months. In the past I have set up my DIRECTV system scores of times. However on this trip I am unable to acquire the 103 and the 99 satellites, although I am able to watch TV. I always level my tripod and get the azimuth, elevation, and tilt numbers from the...

I have a Genie HR44-500 receiver and directv dish that travels with me in my RV. I am on the first trip I have taken in 18 months and I am having setup problems. I use a tripod to set the dish on. I’ve set this dish up scores of times. I set the tripod up and level it, then set elevation and...

It turns out that the dish had been bent. Although it wasn't necessary, I purchased a "ready to install" kit. Once I assembled the unit, I was able to get all sats acquired with better signals than I had with the old dish. I have traveled with the old dish for many years and, over time, the...

I installed the DIRECTV SL3-SWM SlimLine Single Wire Ka/Ku Triple LNB and proceeded to aim the dish. Got the three satellites acquired with good signal strength, but had to set the elevation at 43, rather than the 35 that the DirecTV program provided.

I have a DirecTV Slimline Sat. dish with an DIRECTV SL3-SWM SlimLine Single Wire Ka/Ku Triple LNB. I travel with this dish and set it up on a tripod. I'm in a windy area and before I could properly secure the tripod, it blew over. I was able to get the mounting bracket replaced and aimed the...

I'm attempting to aim my DirecTV dish. I've found the AZ, El & TLT and set up the dish on a plumb support. I'm looking for 101, 99 and 103 from Southern CA. I have been able to get a good signal on all three birds, tuner 2, but not tuner 1. Any advice?

Okay, guys. Thank you.

Awhile back, I upgraded my DirecTV receiver. The technician that came to do the job replaced my LNB. The old one, a five-lnb model, had deteriorated. The replacement has only 3 LNB's. When I try to aim the dish, I have 101, 103 and 99 sats. I peaked 101. then 99 from memory. I then...

Just got situated in Southern Cal. Got ss of 80 & 90 on all birds after a little "dithering". I'm getting smarter on this stuff.

two signal strengths on 101, top in 90's, bottom im 80's 103 top was high 50's and bottom mid 90's. Same for 99. Reception appears to be fine. All channels are available and picture clarity is tops.

I just aimed my DircTV slimline 3 dish. I peaked the 101, then 103 (ca), then 99 (c). Somewhere along the line, I got a page that had an advice box that had six boxes inside of it. The top set said there were errors in the 13V line on 99, 101 and 103. The bottom line said the 18V part was...
