Switch was bad... wierd that only some channels would not work.

Yep, replaced it and my signals increased quite a bit but the same channels are 771. I'm thinking maybe receiver or switch now?

Tried a new LMB, tried to reauthorize same channels saying 771 on tuner 2 although tuner 2 is fine signal/numbers wise. Replacing the LMB increased signal strength by 15% across the board.

So besides the LMB being bad, you guys dont see any reason that I would get 771 on specific channels?

Here they are

At work right now, but I should have time to get the numbers tomorrow. Thanks guys.

ok, I lied I am missing (771) on ESPN 207 Nation Geographic HD Travel Channel HD and a couple of other channels as well. All of my sattelites have signal stengths of at least 50%. 50% being my lowest on 103s but I can't get it much higher than that. Any pointers?

My problem was I was worrying about 101 110 and 119... when I needed 99 and 103 for HD. :) All is working now, thanks for all of the help.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I was able to get a signal tonight. :) I just need to figure out how to get my locals now.

Yeah, that's the site I have been using. What are you using to find your azimuth ?

Good to know :)

100% sure it's level yes, heading... not so much. This satfinder app does not seem all that accurate. Is there a better way to get azimuth?

I have the TV hooked up in the window next to where I have the dish for testing. Still getting signal 771. Should the tuner update in real time soon as I get a signal it will tell me?

Zoom unavailable Enlarge Sell one like this NEW DirecTV Five LNB Satellite Dish HD SlimLine Ka/Ku

So I have an Slimline HD ka/ku HD dish. Below is my setup Satellite LMB > COAX > B-Band converter/filter > reciever (satellite in ) > TV I am using a droid app called Sat Finder looking at satellite 119 - 110 I cannot seem to get a signal. Any tips for a DIY junkie?

Right, I understand that now. I'll use that strictly for travel. The dish I have more my home is v DirecTV Five LNB Satellite Dish HD SlimLine Ka/Ku

Because the quote below confused me . I looked up the WB68 and it's a 4x8 obviously there is something special about it. I'll see what I can find :) Chip, I understand your frustration, I so the same thing on other forums different subject of course.

Sorry! I'm just trying to learn more about the parts. Saying it won't work then saying get WB68 which is a 4x8 I am confused. I have searched the forums, and do not see much in regards to exactly what equipment I need in order to make it work in my home. It's not like I enjoy asking stupid...

Ok, so a 4x8 switch doesnt work like this? LMB 4 coaxial >>>> powered 4x8 > 8 outputs to 8 receivers? I have 1 dvdr the rest are HD receivers.

so a 4x8 zinwell will not work?

Well, using SD for the road isnt the end of the world. I do appreciate the help. Now, what equipment would I need for the 5LNB slimline? It's got 4 outputs on it, i'd like to setup 6 rooms. a 4x8 multiswitch won't work? What about a inline power inserter + SWM capable splitter?

Not sure actually. I thought when DTV installed that for us many years ago they said it was HD capable. Anyways to know by looking at it? Any specialized equipment i'll need to setup the 5LMB slimline in our house? I guess i'm looking for the easiest way possible. NOt worried about the alignment...

Just for travel right now, unless there is a reason to use an additional at the house that I don't know about?

Sorry, the 5 LNB for my house will feed 5 rooms for sure, and i'm thinking about doing our garage. the 3LNB will only do two.
