    compatable reciever for 18" dish

    Dont need HD, we have an old sony 4:3 tv. On my home receiver, I have a little box that powers the LNB, will I need one with the D12? The ebay auction stated I may need a new access card, any idea how much one of those will cost? thanks for the help. Brian

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    I've been in Redding the last 3 summers, I've seen one thunderstorm here during the last 3 summers. Now, in the mountains, thats a different story. I think I'm good. Besides, its to hot to go outside to dither :D Again, thanks for everyone's help.

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    for some reason my Acutrak 22 wiz bang signal meter shows 85 when I pointing at the ground... having figured that out yet. I found that as long as the mast is plumb, that the tilt and alt are marked pretty much right on, the only thing that needs adjustment is the az, and that takes me just a...

    I'm getting all the HD channels I should be getting. Otherwise I'd really be bored. BBC? B Band Converter? Thought I didnt need one for the SL3 SWiM

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    zeros, I might have a tree in the way. I just moved across town, I could swore they were coming in at my last spot. I'm gonna try to move into a different spot in the park this week and also get a SL5. I wish the Directv tech support could have clued me in on this :D thanks for all your help...

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    I started down in the LAX area, this now makes sense as my local channels arrived over 101 thus only needed the SL3. Now that I'm up in Redding, my locals show up on 119, no HD locals, and those all come over 119. Soo.... I need to replace my SL3 with the SL5 and life should be grand. Still not...

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    Ok, so to get sat 119, I need to replace my current dish with....? and if I cant continue to use a single cable (dont want to have to rewire the RV or drill new holes), then the point is moot :)

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    Ok, lets back up here. I have a Slimline-3S, a single cable from that to the power inserter and then to the receiver. I'm in an RV and the dish is on a tripod. I have 2 tuners and both work separately with the single cable. Thanks for helping me out, not dense, just new to the terminology.

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    Yes, SW3, Power Inserter (PI) got it. So when I change out the Slimline-3S to the 5LNB, will I still have only one cable?

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    PI? I have no splitter, just the power supply for the dish.

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    can I swap out the SW3 with the 5LNB? or do I need to change the dish out as well? Is it still a single cable coming to the receiver? Will I still need to use the 18v power supply inline?

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    Ok, then, that would explain it, and no, cant see 119. The tech that I talked to on the phone thought that I should get all the locals listed in the channel lineup. How do I get 119 for the SD channels? As far as the $50 service charge, it was not my intent to insult or hurt the feelings of...

    99s and 103s with HR23 and SW3

    I'm having a bit of a problem, and I'm not sure why. My zip code is 96001, I'm getting all sats but 99s and 103s, which I understand are the spot sats for local programming, which I'm not getting (except one channel). The locals are not showing up in the guide. I'm pretty sure the dish is...
