Slimeline 5lnb with no hd

[turbodax]

Hey guys thanks for all the great advice on previous threads. I have been troubleshooting my setup for a while and cant seem to figure it out. I have a SIR-TS360 box with a bbc I just installed on the back. I have the slimline 5lnb dish which is oval with 3 transponder head thingie mabobers. I have signals in the mid to high 90's on 101, 110, and 119. I cant even see satellite 99, or 103 in the signal strength menu. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Seems to be a Samsung box from 2005 or so. Maybe outdated and designed for a Phase III dish. Maybe won't even see the KA's.

I don't think I ever tried my Samsung with my SL5, great receiver, still have it somewhere but used it to upgrade to H20's when they went to the SL5's...

Your receiver won't pick up the new hd channels. It will get ota hd signals. For Directv, you need a box with a model # starting with "H".

Thanks again for all of your help. I will get a new reciever asap.
