Sounds good, thanks. Like this?

"Portable" and "RV" are the keywords. Not worried at all about what's up there later. :-)

Then, how big of a "hole to the sky" do I need to get the three main DTV satellites? This is a view from the DishPointer Pro Android App. I'm not saying this is enough of a window, but an example I can illustrate. It seems to me at a hole at least the size of the slimline dish is needed...

In big 'ol C-band days, it was easy to see. With the oval dishes with offset LNB, it's harder for me to visualize. I'm guessing about where the green arrow is pointing?

Got it. Got RB LNB aligned, there are four transponders on 99rb that show a signal......

My installer at the house told me that the LNB needed to be switched out from a SWM to a RB SWM when I got a Genie and a 4K mini. -- later -- I'm working on a tripod dish for an RV I'm picking up soon, and ordered new hardware for that from Solid Signal. Instead of the "DIRECTV Slimline...

That's my question and my experience, too.

I saw the damage to the box but I wasn't concerned enough. I have clean parts to compare with tonight. You're right, should have taken pictures. Live and learn. Hope to do a bakeoff with clean and warped dish tonight to see.

I've have a spool of RG6 cable, good quality F connectors and crimper. Has there been any improvement in RG6 quality or standards in the last few years (namely, to support SWiM) that I need to be aware of? Assuming I want to get some more cable to have on hand, and a few spare couplers and...

My next step if I didn't get an answer today was to haul a DVR and TV out there so I could watch the signal level while I twisted. Yelling back and forth is an exercise in frustration I'm done with. I know the meter is overkill for me, but I got a deal and it solved another problem, too. :-)

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a WINNER! I went back out to brave the mosquitoes and try again. Unlocked the az and el, stared at the compass, and went to where I though 180 should be to start. Nothing, not a peep. Rolled a little west, nothing. Rolled WAY back east 20-30 degrees?) and got a...

From the geometry, I would agree. But, it doesn't seem to see ANYTHING at 183 az. When I'm peaking, it thinks it's on 101, I'm assuming it knows it's own mothership -- but I'm new to this meter.

I've always thought that was odd about DoublePlay as well. I just tried it, was on channel 384. When I turned it on it jumped me to 205. I tuned to 570, then hitting the down arrow swapped between 384 and 570 as I would expect, I can rewind both of them. So, why did it toss me to ESPN with...

I used to install C-band and some Ku-band stuff as a hobby, that stuff was easy to align. I still have the tools, but man has the tech changed! I have a Slimline dish and a SL3 SWiM LNB, both new. I also have a 3D SWiM LNB, more on that later. I'm new to this meter, but have spent about 12...
