Ok so I got a slimline 3 dish from my dad to use for tailgating and stuff. Took it out to try and install it yesterday using my HR24 receiver, a tripod, 100ft of RG6 cable, and I also bought a bucket with concrete and a pole that is 1&1/4 in diameter just in case the tripod wasn't sturdy enough.
First problem, the pole on the tripod seems too small for the dish to clamp to.
Second problem, when doing signal tests I am getting absolutely nothing. So I called the technical dept at DirecTV and they walked me through how to change the dish type because I did not bring the swm power inserter with me. But I don't have BBand Converters either. So am I at a loss here?
What do I need to do?!?! I need this hooked up and working ASAP!! Tomorrow and Sunday is game day!!
