    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    One other thing ... as you can probably tell I don't mess with this stuff too much ... I cannot get the beeping sound for the satellite aiming (HR24), I pulled up the setup menu where it has the "sound" selection and the instructions say to "highlight the tuner and press select" ... can't get it...

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    Like I said earlier I never did fine tune the dish - I finally got a good reading off my compass and reset the dish and it was working when I went down off the roof to check it, Satellite 101 transponders showing in the upper 80's to upper 90's. If you don't think fine tuning will help to get a...

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    OK - so 1080i on the dish is not as clear as OTA?? Never would have thunk that. Not a big deal seems we watch OTA 90% of the time anyway - at least until the new hunting shows start in the fall.

    Yup - watching wcco - so to get 1080 on satellite instead of 720 need to ?? My son just informed about the "format button" on the remote so I got it changed to 1080i ... maybe it is just my eyes but when I switch back and forth between the OTA and the Dish it sure looks to me like the OTA...

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    OK got a picture - darn compass was throwing me off for one thing. One question, when watch NCIS via satellite it says it is 720, when I switch it over to OTA it says it is in 1080. I didn't get a chance to fine tune the dish so could this be the reason or is it something else? Thanks again...

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    OK - not sure if there is a better place to ask this but ... I put up the slimline dish, installed the inverter and have 20 +/- volts on the cable at the dish, set the dish to the coordinates for my address, plugged the cable from the dish into the input of the splitter, the "power to swm" cable...

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    OOPS - guess I got off track and was thinking about this Spring - once I got the Slimline SL3 dish mounted and the SWM splitter and power inverter installed ... then would I need a B Band converter or ? to connect the non-hd receiver (D12-500) to the SWM splitter or do I need to keep my old...

    If it takes a different dish then I might as well crawl up on the roof to install the Slimline. Thanks

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    Tried it - changed setup to round dish but it also asked which I had, SWM1 or Multi Switch - no option given to select none. A kept saying that there was a problem with the antenna connection. Had cable connected to Satellite in 1.

    Using Round Dish for HR24 until spring?

    I was wondering if it is possible to use my round ... non hd dish with an HR24? Was planning to install a Slimline dish in spring once the weather gets a bit better. I already have the Slimline dish SL3 with splitter and inverter. Do I need to use any of this stuff with my round dish or just...
