    No Signal, I'm gonna jump!

    Good call Raoul, I get 200, but as near as I can tell that is all. Do you know of a site that tells me what channels are on a given satellite? I'm inching closer. One step at a time. Thanks all, Zagnut edit Well I'm stumbling onto some channels now. I guess I just have to remember which...

    No Signal, I'm gonna jump!

    Joe, You were right, I did have a problem in "Dish Selection" or more properly "Switch Selection", but I corrected that some time ago. The other problem is that I'm out in the boondocks and I don't have a BBC, and I still don't have even a SD picture. Shouldn't I receive something? Zagnut

    No Signal, I'm gonna jump!

    My transponder screenfor 101 shows a signal in the 90's for all but four transponders on the + side. Three of those are 0's and 1 is in the 80's. The 103 transponder screen comes up all 0's. I still get no picture, only the "searching for signal on satellite in 1...771" screen. On another...

    Raoul, I think you're correct. I knew it had to be something simple, because I was pretty sure I had the dish aimed correctly. While I was messing withstuff, I cut down a limb that I figured might be interfering and re-checked for plumb. The dish is dead on for plumb in both verticals and...

    Of the 18 choices on the set up menu, only 2 seem to apply #18 (Slimline-5S(SWM)) and #4 (Slimline-5). I have tried both settings and both give me the message "! Do not install B-Band Converters" In it's primary residence, this receiver is hooked to SWM setup and what appears to be a Slimline 5...

    I should have been more specific. I get the same signals on my Birdog inside as I do outside. I get the message "a satellite signal could not be detected" on my setup screen on the TV. Zagnut

    No Signal, I'm gonna jump!

    Thanks Ftout, I've already done all that you describe. The mast is plumb not level as is the dish mount. It's not perfect, but it is within an RCH. I'm a contractor/carpenter by trade, I know my bubbles, levels, plumbs, etc. I do get a signal inside just ahead of the receiver on my Birdog. As...

    No Signal, I'm gonna jump!

    Hi, I'm new to post, but have read stuff here repeatedly. Here is my tale of woe. I'm trying to install a brand new DTV Slimline 5 with a H21 Receiver in a 2ndary location. I have a Birdog Plus meter that I bought used. It does not have all the sats on the slimline downloaded and I didn't get...
