rv'ing and having troubles

[tadpole]

I've taken a RCA Directv receiver (mn 7m09-obtained from back of receiver)
from my home. At home(zip 77318), I have an round dish with single lnb. The dish I obtained for the RV is oval - "triplefeed, Multi Satellite LNB". I can't seem to get it installed to get reception.
Just wondering if these components are compatible? Or if I have failed to get it
properly pointed at the big birds.

Tks,,

Check your setup menu and see if it has the option for an oval dish... sounds like you have a Phase III. How old is your receiver?

 

[tadpole]

Menu - yes,we checked menu and it offers oval with 3 lnbs.
Receiver - 4 to 5 years old

There are four coax connections on the LNB, does it matter which one
that I connect to?

No it doesn't matter which one you connect to, in your situation.
Did you try setting it up for the 3 lnb set up ?

That is where I would look first, provided your coax and all other connections are made properly.

If everything looks correct, it's probably an alignment issue, keep trying...
You did put in the current zip code to get the correct settings , right ???

10-4 Jimbo,
All areas are as you suggest. I agree, it must be alignment situation.
