How do I get the HR22-100 receiver to see a different dish and LNB

Good evening, I am new to this formum so I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this problem.
I received the new HD update receiver from Direct TV. It is an HR22-100 with a slimline 3 dish. The equipment on the house works great.

My problem occurs when I take the receiver from the house and use it when I am away from home. I have a small "Round 18 inch dish" from a previous installation that I have used on a tri-pod with the older receiver and it worked very well. When they gave me the update, they took the old receiver. I have not been able to get the new receiver to work with this older Round 18 dish yet. I am using a Zinwell multiswitch MS6X8WBZ which is exactly like the one on the house. It seems like the new HD receiver does not recognize the Round 18 dish. How do I make the HR22-100 see the Round 18 dish instead of looking for the Slimline 3? Thanks for any help Tkissell

Thanks Jimbo,
I too am a Tigers Fan, ever since the 60's when Cleveland traded their best players to the Tigers, I just followed and have been a die hard fan ever since. I grew up listening to Ernie Harwell on the radio as well.

I have changed the "dish type" in the dish configuration settings menu, but when I select "Continue" it goes to verify the satelite and it comes back with a message that says "no satelite found".

Since it says it can not find the satelite, I thought maybe my hardware or wires were bad, so I have test all of them with the system on the house and all the wires, multi Switch, etc work good with the Slim Line 3 dish. I also attached a signal meter when I am trying the Round 18, and I get a good signal with both lines. I have the satelite dish on the tri-pod sitting directly under the one at the house so I know it is directed pretty close. I have been working on this off and on for about 2 weeks and I got a signal one time last week and I thought I had the problem solved. But I used the receiver in the house again and it went back to Slimline 3 and last week end when I set it up again for the Round 18 , it would not work.

It seems like I am missing a step to make the reciever "save" the new setting when I change it (before it goes out to verify the satelite is connected)
Thanks again for your help. Tkissell

Your talking two different set ups (locations ?).

Once you do get the new recvr set up on the old dish, you are aware that you won't get any HD channels on that set up as it only points at the 101.

It sounds to me like you may not have the settings quite right or your 18" dish is not pointed at the 101 sat.

Another option would be to get yourself a newer Slimline dish to set up at the other location, then you would not have to reconfigure it each time.

Jimbo,
You got it right. I tried aiming it better and continued to scan the direction the one on the house is set to and the Round 18 finally came in ok. When I am away from the house, it doesn't matter about HD or local channels, so the Round 18 works fine. I now need to read the pointing data closer when I am away from the house and then set it up and scan the direction while watching the signal strength meters. I actually go to three or four places, so I can't mount it permanently, thats why I use the tripod.

Thanks again for the help, it is supprising how hearing from someone else helped me to go back over what I was sure was working and concentrate on only direction pointing.

I do the same thing to a certain extent, I use a tripod for when I'm out camping, but I use a regular (older Sidecar) slimline, though I am looking for a newer slimline at the moment.

Glad to see you were able to get it going.

Your right, when others throw ideas out there you often review what you've already done a little closer.

Comcast called fiber pricing "irrational" because the ROI is over three years. What is irrational to me is Comcast internet is based on lines they put in the ground decades ago at this point, for the most part. Is copper that much more expensive to maintain?

yes. even copper lines in a house degrade over 70 years, I doubt coax would last that long. Fiber Optic on the isp side will last over 70 years with very dedgration

The fiber coming in to the house looks like 300 ohm old TV wire I think that is the weak point.

Charter lost 77,000 TV subscribers, the bigger news, it lost 233,000 broadband subscribers.

You would believe both companies would of learned from what happened with their TV services, which was ignore that cord cutting was a thing, allowed competition ( streaming) to get a foothold in the industry.

Now, in today's world, there are more households in the United States without a paid live TV than those with.

Both companies charge too much, delayed upgrades, all because they believed no one would leave them, only game in town, competition started with the 5G services, Fiber soon after, enough said, Cord Cutting 2.0 is here.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

Hate to say this no one is ordering Satellite TV. Both DISH and Direct no new customers.
After 25 years with centurylink DSL 80 speed i changed to Xfinity 300 speed for $50 wow lightning fast for streaming. Still have DISH 27 years with them. Americas 250 package for $103. What you think of superbox or vseebox for streaming is it legal?
Still dish is easy to operate and change channels. What will Charlie Ergen do with new super satellites with loosing customers with satellites and boost?

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
