Had BEV, curious of your experiences I'm in PA as well, north of Philadelphia. I had BEV until last year when they started dorking with the bird's signal map and introduced the new satelllite too. I had the 20" dual LNB dish and need Transponders 2-6 to work for the channels I want...

That is pretty good. Further up to the Northeast, I tried an 18 inch with a legacy LNB and got lower numbers than with the 24 inch. Still not seeing TP's 1 and 5 above 41 at the evening and get less than 31 during the day. The rest seem to be locking at 51 - 65 with the exception of TP 2...

I would agree with you and thanks for the thought this. I was hoping not to go that high in size as it was a pain putting a superdish up. My roof is starting to look like an uplink center at this rate.

Wobble has changed too Have been watching the thread now too. Am North of Philadelphia and have been seeing the change. TP 1 and 5 disappear during the day from the wobble while all but 2 and 3 have been floating in the low 50's. I repointed, moving a few degress higher in elevation and...

Hello all. I'm a legacy dish network subscriber (as in legacy lnb's, switches, and receivers) looking for thoughts and guidance aside from the forced dishpro upgrade. I've got multiple 4700 (4900 upgraded) units and a legacy SW42 driving an older Dish500 to the 110 and 119 slots. I've...

Congratulations on the 1000! I'm in. This has been a fantastic resource with good people in it.

I would think that too. I got the unit pointed properly, but yet got no signal from either side. When I pointed the dish into the side of the house, I actually got a light signal on the pointing meter. Funny enough, I located the satellite and got signal with the replacement DP270KU LNB...

Got it, thanks everyone, new software didn't hurt either. Got the situation solved. It was part elevation markings inaccurate on the old dish and it was a dead LNB after all. I went with a new FSS dual LNB with built in odd/even management. It was a direct replacement for the old H/V...

Yeah, I tried that and got nothing at all for signal or for any transponders. I repointed to 105 to see if there was any difference, trying a new LNB shortly to see if it makes a difference. I'm leaning toward the fact that I have a dud based on behaviors. The new LNB will be the test.

That could be the case, I'll check again when it stops raining out. I aimed for 119 and went a few degrees higher. I could have overshot. It's definitely worth a recheck.

Yes, me too. I tried the channelmaster/andrews folks and they don't have any details as it used to all be oem documentation owned by the primestar folks. I did get a manual with the dish, but it was more directions on aiming for 91w back then. Guess the experimentation goes on.

Yes, then I end up getting nothing consistently. It's a tough one for sure. I'm scrounging around to see if I can get another LNB for testing.

I believe that's what the zinwell is doing. I pinged Claude on his experiences and this is what he used to get his setup going. It would be ideal for myself as well, but I'm not getting to the signal stage by using the switch or a direct connect of the IRD to the H or V ports. I added the...

I believe you're correct. This is the 4900 that should be able to do it. I was planning on replacing my 61.5 Dish 300 with this unit once I got it operational.

Thanks for the response Iceberg, yeah, that's what I was looking to do exactly. The weird part is no signal on the 4900, but the SM95 is showing a line signal, rolling through the transponders on the point signal menu, when I switch to even transponders, the meter gets a signal, odds are flat...

No dishpro, I'm all legacy here. I'm using the 3x4 to combine the H/V LNB signals to a 13/18 recognizable signal first for establishing this works before I do the SW21 bit and combine it in to the rest of the system.

Sorry, the setup is all legacy for existing, no dishpro here. Separately, I've got the following: Legacy dual twin LNB Dish 500 for 110 and 119 Legacy dual LNB Dish 300 for 61.5 SW64 Legacy 4000 Legacy 4900 In addition, this is the extra setup I've been running with (not connected...

Hello all, forgive the newbie questions. I am trying to add a homemade superdish to a multi-dish installation. Many thanks to Claude on the switch recommendations and sharing his experiences so far. Doing standalone testing with a 39" Primestar, a 3x4 zinwell switch to combine the H and V...

It's legacy, I'm recycling the primestar to get more mileage out of the legacy setup and receivers. I have two receivers, at max 3. Two of them are 4900's, I'll need to replace the third one eventually with another 4900 as well (have older 3000 and 4000's around the house). I've used a...

Thanks for the message, it's an older one then as it's got the H and V markings. I also have a channel master model 6102IFD multiswitch to combine the 13v/18v LNB's into two outputs, I'm wondering if this thing is useful to combine the signal before taking it to the receiver or into a...

Question for another Primestar dish to Superdish conversion Hello all, I've been thinking of recycling a used Primestar dish too to replace the 61.5 satellite I use to get more content plus the internationals. Got a few 4900 receivers in the house. Currently have a SW64 setup with an...
