    Do I need second multiswitch?

    Ok, job is done. Here is what I found: When I pulled out the LNB, I indeed only had one coax attached to it. I guess the confusing part was that before this, I had an 18" round 2-LNB setup. I pulled four coaxes up to the roof in preparation for my move to the new dish. When the installer came...

    Do I need second multiswitch?

    My 101 is in the 90s - most upper, but a few at 90-92. My 101/103 is no higher than 65, and as low as 38. The tech was a new guy who put it up in a rainstorm. It was slightly better when he did it 18 months ago, but it has dropped enough to cause several HD channels (TNT, USA, etc) to drop out...

    Do I need second multiswitch?

    I can look and see 4 wires coming out of the dish. Until I get on the roof this weekend and pull it out and look, I won't know for sure what's connected. Sounds like only one is hooked up at the LNB. I'll let everyone know the answer once I find out. Thanks again for all the help.

    Do I need second multiswitch?

    My dish - a Slimline 3 SWM - has 4 coax cables coming out of it. I was told that it's a SWM dish with a builtin multiswitch. Or is it just a 4-port LNB? It's the large single horn LNB, not the multi-horn of the Slimline 5. When he installed it, we randomly picked one of the coax cables coming...

    Do I need second multiswitch?

    I started looking at my satellite setup the other day. I had a newbie tech put it in when I upgraded to HD 18 months ago. It worked, so that was good enough. Now that I'm getting ready to realign my dish, I started looking at the setup. I've got an SL3S, which has a builtin 4 port multiswitch...

    SWM3/SL3s and Acutrac III w/ASL-1 alignment?

    Yes, I've got it. Mine's an AcutracIII, not a 3plus.

    SWM3/SL3s and Acutrac III w/ASL-1 alignment?

    Thanks! That's what I was looking for. Should be an easy job...once I get onto the roof.... Steve.

    SWM3/SL3s and Acutrac III w/ASL-1 alignment?

    I'm very familiar with dithering. The 101 isn't the problem - I've aligned to that many times. Just not on a SWM3. I pulled up the SL3s alignment procedures on the satinstalltraining website, which is where I found that you just set the tilt and let it be (look at page 1 of SL3s_LNB.pdf on the...

    SWM3/SL3s and Acutrac III w/ASL-1 alignment?

    Thanks for the help! But I definitely have a 3LNB SWM. It's the large pod. I've set up the SWM5s before, but without the 119 on the SWM3, I wasn't sure if I could see the 99/103 on the 101 or 119 ports. Any help is appreciated. Steve.

    SWM3/SL3s and Acutrac III w/ASL-1 alignment?

    My dish has been working for quite a while, but I'm having trouble getting some of the HD channels now. The D* installer put it up during a thunderstorm, so I'm sure he didn't get the alignment just right. So I'm going to go and tweak the dish. I've got an Acutrac III and an ASL-1. All the docs...
