What type of dish do you have it hooked up too ? What is a FW9 ?, I am unfarmiliar with that model.
HD required at least a 3 LNB dish.

HD receiver can work with any dish even in the settings menu it gives you options to select any dish.
One possible problem is a wrong multiswitch. In fact if you have a wrong multiswitch it is not only gonna be "searching for satellite" but it will permanently damage your HD receiver and you will need to replace it. I've seen that happen.
