So, currently with my old receivers, I'm on the SWM system. I haven't had to upgrade a receiver in quite some time so sorry for my ignorance here. Since I may get the HR44 (which from my understanding is a receiver that can be used for the Genie setup), I wanted to ensure that, just because I...

If I get the HR44, will that mean that I have to move onto the Genie system? I have other receivers on my account in my home that are also older models (HR22/HR24). I don't really want to move onto the Genie system.

Thanks...then since I have a SWM3 setup, the m the HR44 should work right?

Hi, so a lot of the receivers I found on eBay were already activated. However, there are others that state that they are new and not activated. My question is: given that I had a HR22-100 before and am NOT on a genie system (but am on the SWM3 system), what is the highest receiver model I can...

Sorry, meant that the one that died was bought outright.

Thanks guys. Appreciate all the options. My receiver was bought outright and not a lease...does that have any effect on whether they'll send me a new one at no cost (excluding shipping)?

Hi. My Directv receiver (HR22-100) died a few days ago. It's obviously quite old but I'm thinking of getting another one off eBay. Will my existing access card work on another one? What about if I get a newer model, say a HR24?

Hi All, Just wanted to drop you a line to say things are working now and a BIG thanks for your help - your advice and information was invaluable. I had to increase the elevation from 32.5 to 36 or 37, keep the tilt at 61 and point the azimuth at roughly the same place where dishpointer told me...

Theoretically, if I am pointing to the 101 satellite (assuming I get the azimuth right), I should see some signal strength on the 1-24 transponders, even if it is weak, correct? That would tell me I'm pointing to the correct satellite and I just need to either tweak the angles a little or...

Thanks...so does that mean that the skew or tilt (I've read that they are the same?) will need to be adjusted?

Thanks All for your help! I'll go ahead and make the adjustments and let you know (may take me a day or two as busy at work and in the evenings). One other question: My condo is on the first floor and I cannot really move it any higher. Does the elevation need to be adjusted to take into...

Thanks Jimbo. When you say "move it left and repoint", are you suggesting I adjust the dish by moving it to the west (adjust its azimuth)?

Also, I am also trying to use the dishpointer website to ensure I have the correct elevation, azimuth, and tilt but the one piece I don't quite know how to pick is the second drop down about the satellite. Which one do I select?

I am looking at the 101 satellite screen with all 32 transponders. 1) From what I've mentioned, how are you able to tell that I'm pointing at 119? 2) What should I do to point it to 101?

Aiming? Are you asking what it's pointing at in terms of clear sky or trees, buildings, etc...?

Hi. I've just installed the LNB3 SWM dish and after getting the azimuth, elevation and tilt from the Directv receiver (after putting in my zip code), I am only seeing strong signals (95 and up) on transponders 22,23 and 25-32. Does anyone know what might be the reason why I'm missing signals...
