swm lnb question..

[mojomaster]

Hello,
I just got an swm lnb and a buddy of mine has an older model receiver. Both of us have subscriptions to direct tv. He just doesnt use his extra box right now. Tried to see if it works with my new sat. but its not working. Is there anyway to get the older model receiver to work with the swm? (other than get another dish put up)
Thanks and any help would be appreciated.

What model receiver is it?
Only SWM capable receivers can use that LNB.
These are the Hxx and HRxx models.

Otherwise you'd have to swap the non-SWM LNB back to the dish.

If the recvr is a newer one like JD mentioned, go into the set up menu's and see if it is seeing the SWM set up, remember you'll want to connect it at the SWM splitter.
The recvr won't get signal without being connected to the SWM set up in this situation.
