Help with Directv dish setting

[mhaynes41]

Hi all new to this forum and have been reading a few in the last 2 weeks. I have put up a 5 LNB Slimline not a SWM dish. I get good readings on 101, and 119 and on 72.5 (don't know where that one is comming from). But any way I get nothing on 99, and 103? I'm using a Birdog USB 3.0 meter is there a reason for this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Do you have a MPEG4 capable receiver?

 

[mhaynes41]

No it's a MPEG2 but with my birdog I don't see the 99 or 103. I do see the other 3 plus the 72.5 which I don't undestand that one?

With a 5 lnb dish, you can't see 72.5 and 119. Are you pointing the dish at 101? Have you checked your elevation and tilt?

A 5 lnb can see 119. It can not see 72.5
