Birdog and Slimline

[betterornot]

Need help to install direct tv swm slimline with birdog 4.0. I sure everyone know direct tv use 101, 110 and 119, if I'm correct. Here are some questions I need to ask.
1. Which satellite I should pickup ?
2. on the birdog, which to pick on?
3. Is 110 is the first satellite I should get or 101?

Thanks!

Nail the 110 bird (middle one in the string) then fine tune tilt to peak 119. Make sure you go back and repeak 110.

The Birdog site lists the SWM bird files you will need to use, if they aren't already loaded on your meter.

Welcome to the site

Why not start with the 101 like everyone else ?
Your gonna be shooting for the 99,101 and 103 for the majority of the channels.

On my Birdog display DL DirecTV on 110 and DTV KA/KU&3G 101 and 119, Is this normal? I can catched 101 and 119 bird only, no luck on 110. it because the 110 single. and is not the same as 101 and 119 display KA-KU&3G.

As a few others have stated, I really wouldn't sweat trying to nail the 110...your concern should be the 99, 101 and 103; and as such, peak/dither on that particular bird.
