Help with Triple-feed, Multi-Satellite LNB

[siess@earthlink.net]

Trying to set up Directv in my RV. On the Triple-feed LNB there are four coax connectors, for a single receiver which connector should be used? Also, what is the correct satellite to align to (119, 110, 101) on initial set-up. Any help would be appriciated.

Align on the 101.

The phaseIII dish has the built-in multi-switch that will feed up to 4 tuners without the need for anything additional; so use any one of the RG6 outputs for your one tuner.

Also, there are several threads pertaining to RV use, do a search and you may find some useful info in the other threads as well.

Charper1, the 3 lnb dish points to 110, the 5 lnb points to 101.

Oops, I was meaning to say thet the 101 is the mian sat, and now see the op was talking about aiming it.

Correct, but you PEAK the 3 LNB dish to the 101 sat even though it is pointing at the 110.

Yup,

A not uncommon service call issue is no signal on the 110 or the 119 even though the 101 is fine....The cure is to set the tilt (skew) to the correct angle.

With a 3 LNB dish, tilt shouldn't affect 110, only 101 and 119.

That is true if the dish is really aligned to 110.
