install trouble with HR22

[sable430]

I am having alot of trouble getting my HR22-100 to work. I have a SlimLine KA/KU HDTV Dish (I included a picture). It has 4 lines coming out of it, I only have one line hooked up to the HR22 with ONLY a BBC between the dish and receiver. I am getting no signal at all. All transponders read 0. When I change the HR22 out with a SD D12-700 with no BBC I get all transponders in the 90's.

I have received some conflicting advice about whether or not I need BBC's at all, but it doesn't matter if I have them hooked up it made no difference. Do I need some other device between the receiver and the dish? Any advice would help, thank you very much.

Did you go through the set-up menu for the box to tell it what type of dish it was attached to?

I thought it would select the dish on its own. When it didn't work (multiple times) I tried to select the correct dish, but I'm not sure which one to try. I tried a couple different ones, but not sure what is correct.

I have done my own install in the past but have never had any trouble.

Any advice is appreciated.

Select 5 LNB multi-sat.

Select 5 LNB multi-sat.

Pretty sure that's what I have on mine with a slim line dish.
I'll double check.

Since you only have one line connected to the HR22, make sure the line is connected to Sat In 1 and that you have set it for one line in the setup.

Multi sat 5 lnb isn't a choice. there are a lot of other choices (18), should it say slimline? It also says that bbc's should not be hooked up. I'm very confused.

That dish looks like the SL3 (Slimline with 3 LNB) The 3 LNBs are housed in one assmbly, with four outputs.
DIRECTV AU9-SL3 Three LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line Dish Antenna and SL-3 LNB Combo (AU9-SL3) | AU9-SL3 [DIRECTV Slim Line]

BBCs are required with that dish.

I think I got it working, I haven't seen a show yet, but it is downloading a software update. Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if it works. I gotta go to bed now or I will be useless tomorrow.
