New Service with SuperDish

[Tbarnum]

Just ordered new Dish service in the DC Metro area. Subscribing to full HD package, but without DVR.
I am doing the dish install myself, as I did not realize I would be getting a SuperDish with 3LNB's...a little more complicated then I would have liked..I was thinking I would get the new 1000 now that the new "X" satellite is on it's way to being used.

I am having some issues getting the switch test to pass so I can tune everything in.

I can only get one of the LNB's to register in the switch test.

Do the other two LNB's need to see the correct satellites before they will register in the test?? If so, then what is the quickest way to tweak my dish without spending hours trying to get it alignes and skewed properly.

All lnbfs must see theyr sats before you can get it to work, just like all the pins in a lock assembly must line up and fall into place inorder for a lock to work. You may want to have a tech come out to do the installation if your not someone who is technicaly inclined and you stand a chance of not being able to get your system activated if there is no work order on file for your account.

That is what I thought.
I'll work on getting it aligned well and see where I get from there.
The receivers are already authorized and there is a work order as a self-installation. I have done large Ku, C-band antennas, but the great equipment we have for those makes it a little easier then these small DBS antennas with 3LNB's and skew angles.
