    help setting up swm dish

    I have done about 20, 18" installs. This guy really intimidated me, until we sapped on the new lnb, and I saw how simple it was. Once you it the 101, it's a cake walk. The easy part was the 18" was directly under the slimline. We were aiming too high, and a bad LNB. I'll do these now-A meter is...

    Update! We caught a bad LNB! There was a house the burned down and they were ripping it down, and we liberated a LNB that was headed to the dump anyway. We got the 101 immediatly! Then just tilted it and walla! All 3 are in just need a fine tune. Thanks everyone! There ought to be a test for them.

    Power Inserter

    Big question, For the slimline hd with the single lnb a power inserter is required, (swm) We have one that is 21v and we suspect it should be 29v. This may be why we cannot obtain a signal?

    sure, we checked on the dish alignment settings. The slimline is directly above our 18' It pretty much a no brainer if you have experience as I do. Having done 18" from day one. We had the tilt where it was indicated and the rest is easy. If unable to get that 101, something is wrong and we...

    Yes, the dvr detected it right away. It was already up on the set up screen. My neighbor has a slimline setup, perhaps I'll ask him to test the lnb. His works ok. IF I get nothing then, I'll know it's the lnb that's bad, and I suspect it.

    OK, we did everything suggested and still cannot get the 101. We suspect a bad lnb? We have ruled out just about ll factors that would stop us from getting it. Is there a way to test the lnb?

    DTV and billing

    Been with since 97, and recently run into a new thing with them. I have never been shut off for non payment, but had problems like us all with illness and time lost at work. Evidently, they have shown if you are back a bit, that you are worthless. But kiss your arse blue if your bill is paid. I...

    help setting up swm dish

    My son and I attempted this with failure. We have the 18" up and it picks up the sat just fine. We could not even get the 101 that is supposed to be the strongest. We have the slimline dish, swm lnb, and power inserter. the DTv splitter that works, with the HR22 dvr. No signal at all. Tested...
