As mentioned above, I am using an HR22. I have also plugged the PI in before plugging in the receiver. I do have a 4-output LNB on the way. It is actually what I wanted originally as I have a SWM8 that I want to hook up so I can do away with my old antenna and still run legacy devices. It...

This was somewhat mentioned in a previous thread but I wanted to address this in its own thread to try and get a response. I finally got my ASL-1 today. This weekend I am going to use it to re-tune my antenna (SWM LNB). Not fully understanding how this all works I wanted to ask this. If I am...

Has anybody experienced not receiving SWM signals but you do receive regular signals?

Kinda interesting that it doesn't seem to pick up the SWM signal yet it picks up the standard signal. I wonder why that would be?

I may as well ask this now since I am fairly certain that this is going to happen tomorrow based on my previous experience. Say I hook up the SWM LNB with the PI going thru the DC passing port on my SWS-4 splitter and check the output on the non-power passing port with my Acutrac 22 Pro. If I...

Alright, let me backtrack a bit. It looks like I didn't have a cable connected properly with my old 3-LNB. I connected it properly and now I am getting signal strengths of 1 ea @ 96, 6 ea @ 97, 7ea @98, 4ea @99 and the rest at 100 except for transponders 4, 18 and 28 which are 0 (all this on...

Here is my problem right now. I am trying to use the HR22 using the old Ka/Ku 3 LNB with the new slimline dish. The problem I am having is that to set up the dish they give my 18 different selections. Some of them are obvious to not use, but I do not know which one would be the right one to...

Looking back on it, I don't think I ever answered your question randyk47. To align the dish I used the old Ka/Ku LNB borrowed from my original setup. I also used an R10 to power my Acutrac 22 Pro. I was just curious as to whether or not I could use the old LNB on the new HR22. I am on the West...

I picked up from Home Depot my Datashark Model 70014 compression crimper a few years ago for about $20 and then a 10 pk of connectors for about $10. I forget what the stripper cost but it wasn't much. I have never been happier than when I bought the crimper. I have used it many times, including...

Sounds like my wife :D

My Acutrac came with a pouch with a belt clip, did yours or is it a different type of pouch you are looking for? Do you have a specific type of inclinometer you have to get? I picked up one from Lowes with a magnetic base. It is the Swanson Magnetic Angle Finder.

Yes, I am plugging it into Port 1 and I am not using the BBC. The screen even tells me not to use it. mental1, I will try that after I check everything out. Do you think that will actually work? Why would it not see them upon powering up as opposed to resetting it after powering it up?

I haven't installed the receiver yet. I have just been plugging it in as I need it to test the signal so yeah, everything has been unplugged for some time before I start powering them up. After the rain is gone, probably Sunday, I will install my old Ka/Ku LNB and hook it up to the receiver...

I thought I should move this to a new thread instead of my original one . Well, not sure what is going on. As I mentioned, I used my triple LNB (Ka/Ku) from my old antenna and got everything aligned. Solid signals on the meter, all in the range of 91-93. I tightened everything down while...

Nice, F81. I like nice, clear, alphanumeric digits. Makes things easier to identify. I will look at that next time I get out and see if they mention anything like that.

Thanks for the input. The current wall plate is one I got from Home Depot. Should be okay. I am going to stay home tomorrow to work on adjusting the antenna. I want to do it then because rain is in the forecast Wednesday thru Saturday. We are in a 18 month drought but knowing my luck it would...

You know, even though I have it on order I may also swap LNB's to do the alignment as D700 mentioned. I say that because this morning I see that my order may be delayed since one or both of the items are not currently in stock and won't ship out until at least the next 4-7 days. Man, I do not...

I already know about solidsignal. I was even looking at their website as I type the original message. I was curious as to: 1) Was that is fact true (needing high-frequency adapters), and 2) Is the quality of the items at places like Lowes, Home Depot or Radio Shack up to that level...

I think I have seen statements that adapters (i.e. F/F bullet) need to be designed for High Frequency to effectively handle the HD signals. Is this true? If it is, what about wall plates? I haven't seen many of them. I also haven't found any adapters or wall plates at local hardware stores or...

Thanks for the replies. I have a ASL-1 on the way. Can't wait till it gets here.

My thought/hope is that I could use my power passing 4-way splitter and on one of the non-power passing outputs I could use my Acutrac for adjusting the antenna. What are your thoughts?

I ended up getting the SWM-LNB for my install. I want to try and align the dish with my Acutrac 22 Pro (not the MK II). I would like to find out what I may need to perform the alignment? I do have a 4-way splitter. I was hoping I wouldn't have to also get the ASL-1.

Hmmm, I just noticed that the reply I sent didn't go thru. I just wanted to thank you for the information. Every little bit saved helps.

It was suggested to come over to this forum to ask this question. I am going to install the 5-LNB dish as opposed to the SWM LNB, and therefore will be using the SWM-8. I know the instructions from the training manual I have read state that it is "required to be used during the peaking...
