hr22-100 bband?

[sable430]

Do I need a bband converter? I have a satellite with one round white thing with four cables coming from it, it says slimline on it (3 lnb I think). I have a hr22-100 HD DVR that doesn't find any signal when set up. A standard reciever has great strength, all transponders above 94 except one at 63. Do I need a b band converter to get a signal with the hr22? I checked a friends setup and they have a slightly different slimline with only one cable coming from it, there are no bband converters but there is a PI-21. Do I need two bbands or a pi-21. Kind of clueless but geting better. where do I get whichever I need, will directv just send me one.

you need 2

Thanks

Do I need 2 for it to work at all. I just haven't run the second line yet, I will this week.

One BBC will work with a one tuner setup. Once the second line is run, you'll need the second BBC for that line as well.

Suggestion: When you run the second line, make sure you have all four run for future expansion.

Your friend has the SWMLine dish, which has the SWM multiswitch built in.

This may be a dumb question, but should I get anything at all without the bband. The receiver doesn't pick up any signal from the satellite. I just want to make sure that the receiver isn't bad. thanks

you need the BBC to get signals from the 103 and 99 satellites.

 

[sable430]

the standard reciever is getting all the channels from 101. should the HR22 be getting any signal on any satellites?

 

[Rey]

you should be able to get sat 101
