Bought an h25 reciever and need to know what dish to use?

[amazonman481]

I just found an H25 receiver cheap and i have a SL3 slimline dish (SL3S4NR2-03) and was wondering if it would work. i have heard rumors it will not. I have also been told I would just need to put a SWM power-inserter in and would be ok.

Thanks for your help

The H25 does require a SWM set up, so you'll need the Power Inserter and SWM splitter if using more than 1 recvr.

The SL3 should work if it has the SWM LNB

Yep that'll work. You will need a PI (21v) to power the dish. Just throw the PI in-between the sat and rcvr and enjoy.

SL3S**

SL3S**

What does the last half of that designate ?

SL3S**, or in the OP's case SL3S4NR2-03
Does the last part mean anything particular ?

When you put that number into a search at a ordering site (SS) the result comes up with nothing.
If you search for SL3 you get the dish.

Just asking.

If you aren't getting the H25 from a vendor, call Directv and confirm with the receiver identification number that it's owned and not leased. If someone else got it as a lease, you won't be able to activate it.

Thanks Chip, I meant to mention that and forgot.

I figured that. You are usually all over this kind of post. Don't worry buddy, I've got your back!

I have yet to see the H25's for sale outright, I would think it's a lease.

That's what I'm thinking.

Well, he hasn't answered back that he's gotten anything yet, hope he lets us know ....

He may end up being one of those "one and done" posters. I hope not.
