    HR23 to Slimline 3 SWM

    I was referring to the number of tuners run by his system. Even though there is only one coax running to my box it operates the two tuners on my box (when it worked that is).

    HR23 to Slimline 3 SWM

    OK now, I'll admit to being somewhat lost here! There is definitely only one coax coming from his dish. It goes into his trailer. He said it is a SWM system and he has 8 outputs. He uses four and my line uses two because it's two tuner box. He has two left open. He ran a line back out of his...

    HR23 to Slimline 3 SWM

    That's an interesting possibility! I've tried most everything else. I would think though that if it were a general problem with the HR23 I would have received more responses. Then again I doubt most people move their STBs around from system to system. I'm not sure what my other neighbors that I...

    HR23 to Slimline 3 SWM

    Unused ports are terminated. Again: When I hook the coax to #1 (SWM) input on my STB it automatically switches my settings to #17 Slimline 3s SWM with a SWM switch. The only setting it lets me adjust is the tuner. I can change it from dual to single, I have tried both even though it is a dual...

    HR23 to Slimline 3 SWM

    No, he only has one coax coming out of his dish it goes to a SWM 8 in his trailer with an output to my trailer. The coax to my trailer hooks to #1 input on my box and automatically switches it to SWM

    HR23 to Slimline 3 SWM

    On my camping lot I hook my HR23 700 stb to my neighbors Slimline 3 SWM dish. The first two times it worked great. Hooking the one coax to #1 SWM imput automatically set my box to Slimline 3s, SWM switch and dual tuner. The last two times I have tried, it switched my box over to SWM but I end up...

    Help with old C-band satellite system!

    To try and answer all questions: My actuator is a separate box that hooks to the tuner box with a 7 pole circular cable. I do have polorotor on my dish and have veified that it's working, turns 90 degrees when I change from odd to even channels. My tuner was not working all that well anyway, had...

    Help with old C-band satellite system!

    If I switch to an LNB I'll have to change the receiver also, right? What happens with the downconvertor and the actuator control box? As you can tell, I don't know much about this I've only changed the actuator arm since the system was new. Is there any way to test the LNA? Any help appreciated!

    Help with old C-band satellite system!

    I have an old STS 70MHz system. STS AA and SR, MicroWave Systems Engineering LA 4880 LNA, STS downconvertor DC-1001,and 12 foot dish. It was working fine when I last used it (some time ago). It now has a pattern on the bottom third of the screen which moves to the center of the screen on the...
