I guess it must have just been a really bad storm, because the 103c is all in the mid to high 80's.

I have posted numerous posts about my 5 LNB installation and thanks to everyone's help I finally got it last week. I enjoyed HD all week and wow is all I can say. But now I have a question about how to fine tune the HD satellites? I used my receiver as my meter and I followed the instructions...

Thanks, for the response Jimbo, but I GOT IT! After doing some reading I realized that if I locked onto the 110 that the 101 is about 7 to 10 degrees off. So I was moving it to the left and getting a headache, finally I tried going to the right and presto. So if anyone else has this problem...

I finally got my slimline 5 LNB in the mail and I have spent all dreaded day putting it up. I was just about to give up when magically the 110 got a 95 signal, this motivated me for a little. So I moved it around until i had it peaked. Then I tried to get the 101 to come in by just moving it...

I just purchased the HD DVR HR-21 and I am waiting for my 5 LNB slimline dish to arrive, if I were to activate the HR-21 would I be able to operate it off of the 3 LNB dish until I get my 5 LNB dish next week? Also would it be able to pick up any HD channels, I really just want to test it out...

Thanks guys, I am not sure which way I am going yet.

I am going to be installing my slimline dish next week and I need a meter to do it with. I am not looking to spend a ton of money, just like 10 to 30 bucks. I know it won't get me everything like the fine tuning but it 's not worth the 250 bucks to install one satellite. Can someone give me...

Thanks Jimbo, I really don't have any other options for placing the new one, land lord is very strict and it was hard enough to get the spot I did. I guess I will have to give it a try.

I am trying to take down my 3 LNB dish and put up a 5 LNB Slimline for the HD Package. I have a few questions. Do anyone know if one of the cheaper satellite finder will work for the new dish, like..... SF-95c+ Satellite Meter / Signal Finder FTA,DTV,DISH - eBay (item 290241416008 end time...

Ramy: Do you know if one of the cheaper satellite finder will work for the new dish, like..... SF-95c+ Satellite Meter / Signal Finder FTA,DTV,DISH - eBay (item 290241416008 end time Jun-28-08 13:17:00 PDT) Or do I need one of the like 200 dollar digital ones?

Well I appreciate all the help from you guys but now I have a new question. I understand what you are saying about the lease and getting it right from directv, no matter what I do though because of where I live and the crappy directv service I have it will take me a long time to get the dish put...

Jag72: You said it is 5.99 a month for a DVR, but why is my DVR now that not high def no cost? Also how many channels are MPEG-4 and would I get all channels with a DVR Tivo?

I am about to purchase a HR21 HD/DVR DIRECTV RECEIVER off of ebay and I have two questions. One is it says that the receiver is leased and I have to set that up with Directv, will this cost me any more money if I already have the HD package and am replacing a regular receiver with this HD one...

Well I have to give everyone who contributed a big thanks. I finally accomplished my task and now have the local channels. After a long day and a lot of frustration I leveled my dish back where I had it, when I still had no signal I got frustrated and gave it a little punch upward. To my...

Well I was not realizing that everyone was telling me that the entire mast must be plumb, I feel real dumb. When I do that I have no chance of getting any service because then the chimney blocks all channels. I guess I am going to have to move the dish in front of the chimney.

O.K. I am back with still no resolution. I tried to live without the local channels because I couldn't get them to work. I just got a new Directv DV-R plus, when I was going through the initial setup I ran into a problem. Like my other receiver told me, it said that I was running a circle dish...

I was out of town until today. I will get out there after work and give it a check. I will then let you know. Thanks for the help. I hope this is it.

But yes I am receiving all the regular channels. I get every channel except the locals. All the HBO's the MLB ticket, ESPN, CNN, MTV. All those are working fine, just my locals say searching for signal.

O.K. what do you mean by the mast being plumb. I can fix that however it is needed.?

Here are some pictures of the setup I attached some pictures of where the dish is pointing. Let me know.

Well I aimed it according to the alignment the receiver told me when to, once it was set to its specifications for my zip code I then just tweeked it some to get the strongest signal. I achieved a signal of 94 but only on 101. It is placed in the middle of my house due to the way it is shaped...

Thanks I'll give it a try again. One more question is that could it be a problem that I changed zip codes from 18201 to 18202? I did change it in the dish, didn't know if that mattered.

So I guess I would have to take the LNB apart to get to the lines to the multiswitch? But even if my 110 and 119 are blocked by something is it possible for them both the be at a complete 0 even when I'm getting a 94 from the 101?
