Slimline works just fine with linear lnb

No it does not have to be activated to use signal meter

Thanks for the pictures and the info i would like to try it this way now which would mean i could use a dish that doesnt have a skew setting and i have several of those lying around.

Or using directv slimline dish i did

Ok my question is how do you set skew on the 18 inch dish or did 18 inch dish have skew setting

Just wondering how you went about it i used a linear lnb that looked identical to the original directv lnbs and skewed the dish itself did you skew the dish or zero the dish and skew the lnb.

Ok so I was sucessful in finding signal with the slimline dish and linear lnb made to fit the old 18 inch round directv dish which slipped right in had signal within 5 minutes so yes it can be done takes a little math to get skew right since its setup different from orby dish but yeah it can be...

Sorry to leave you hanging but i lost interest in this for a while but now i have talked my mom into getting orby im gonna see if i can make it happen also did you try it and did you get yours going?

Well seeing how I don't want to dive in too deep I've seen receivers in the $30-$50 range

Looking for cheap starter receiver to get started in fta.

Wouldn't have figured the receiver would have a signal meter since its meant to be installed by professional

yes that was one thing I was curious about is if it would have a signal meter built in

Yes from what I read I figured I would have to replace lnb any good suggestions on lnb and signal meter to know if I have any signal I have already set the dish to the 230 azimuth and 39 elevation that's suppose to be right for my area

i looked up the lnb you mention you used im a newbie but i see it has linear and circle which one do you use and also what other cheap lnb would work

What would be needed to use my directv slimline with orby I would find it hard to believe it would not be possible because orbys dish looks almost identical
