Hey guys,
I hope you all can help me. I am going to try to explain everything as best I can.
So I just moved in with my friends and they do not have tv. I had it where I used to live so I am trying to install my old dish and use my own box so that I can avoid some contracts and what not.
The setup they used to have was a Dish Network dish with 3 recievers (I guess you call them). 3 cables came off of the dish, one for each reciever. 1 went to another dish and the other 2 went into a splitter. 1 of the ones that went into the splitter did not look like it went anywhere and the other went under the house.
I took the one that had 3 recievers down and put my DirectTV dish in its place. I put the 2 cables that went into the splitter, into the DirectTV dish. I typed in my zip code on the reciever and set the correct elevation and got the azimuth pretty close.
The reciever is not detecting any satellites. Also the dish I am using is different than the one I was using at my old house. I tried to reset the settings in my DirectTV box.
Here are some pictures:
