Dont need HD, we have an old sony 4:3 tv. On my home receiver, I have a little box that powers the LNB, will I need one with the D12? The ebay auction stated I may need a new access card, any idea how much one of those will cost? thanks for the help. Brian

We have an 18" dish at the office and I'd like to hook up a cheap reciever. What receivers will be compatible? dont need a dvr. thanks Brian

I've been in Redding the last 3 summers, I've seen one thunderstorm here during the last 3 summers. Now, in the mountains, thats a different story. I think I'm good. Besides, its to hot to go outside to dither :D Again, thanks for everyone's help.

for some reason my Acutrak 22 wiz bang signal meter shows 85 when I pointing at the ground... having figured that out yet. I found that as long as the mast is plumb, that the tilt and alt are marked pretty much right on, the only thing that needs adjustment is the az, and that takes me just a...

in the high 80's

just the 99s and 103s, everything else looks good.

I'm getting all the HD channels I should be getting. Otherwise I'd really be bored. BBC? B Band Converter? Thought I didnt need one for the SL3 SWiM

zeros, I might have a tree in the way. I just moved across town, I could swore they were coming in at my last spot. I'm gonna try to move into a different spot in the park this week and also get a SL5. I wish the Directv tech support could have clued me in on this :D thanks for all your help...

I started down in the LAX area, this now makes sense as my local channels arrived over 101 thus only needed the SL3. Now that I'm up in Redding, my locals show up on 119, no HD locals, and those all come over 119. Soo.... I need to replace my SL3 with the SL5 and life should be grand. Still not...

ok, thats what I think I need. SWM AU9-SL5

Thats what I'm trying to figure out.

Ok, so to get sat 119, I need to replace my current dish with....? and if I cant continue to use a single cable (dont want to have to rewire the RV or drill new holes), then the point is moot :)

I should mention, 2 tuners, single HR23/700 receiver.

Ok, lets back up here. I have a Slimline-3S, a single cable from that to the power inserter and then to the receiver. I'm in an RV and the dish is on a tripod. I have 2 tuners and both work separately with the single cable. Thanks for helping me out, not dense, just new to the terminology.

Yes, SW3, Power Inserter (PI) got it. So when I change out the Slimline-3S to the 5LNB, will I still have only one cable?
