HR22 with SWM Slimline compatible?

[coloSat]

Is an HR22 receiver compatible with an SWM?
I have the PS21R0-03 power supply hooked to the SWM splitter
with the DC path going between the power supply and the LNB.
I am not using a B Band Converter.

I'm getting all zeroes for signal strength no matter what I do.
Do I have a compatible setup? Can this work?
It just doesn't seem possible that my aiming is so far off,
so I'm wondering if my setup is even capable of working.

Help?

your setup is good ... be sure that the ps is hooked up properly ... lnb to lnb & ird to recvr


pointing can be tricky for the hd ... but you should find the 101 ...

be sure that the pole is plumb & zip settings on dish are correct

Go into the setup menu select Satellite Dish and Antenna Setup. Select Repeat Satellite Setup and make sure that the correct dish and switch types are selected.

Thanks so much for responding.
The SWM splitter is a two-way with a DC path from "in" to one of the "out"s.
I have the "in" hooked via RG6 to the antenna.
The "out" with DC pass is hooked to the power supply.
The other "out" is going to the SAT1 input on the HR22 receiver.
The receiver sees the LNB because it puts up the correct SWM type on the screen.
And when I didn't have power supplied, it couldn't communicate with the LNB.
So there is some life.

So how tricky is tricky?
How far off can you be and get something other than zeroes
on the signal strength? Is it a few tenths of a degree or a few degrees?

So are there different Slimline antennas? I've got the 3 antenna SWM head.

if you only have 1 recvr take the 2 way out .... or ... to point the dish take it out ...

on the ps hook the lnb to lnb & the ird to recvr



the 2 way is hooked like this .... in to lnb .... out (power passing) to lnb on ps & recvr to ird on the ps... the non - power passing port on the 2 way is for another recvr...

the 101 is easy to find ... but has to be "on" the sat ....not just close ... the 99 & 103 have to be dead center sat ...


there are 4 slimline dishes 3 lnb swm (1 output) & 3lnb non swm (4 output)..... sats 99, 101, 103 ....& 5 lnb swm (1output) & 5lnb non swm (4 output) 99, 101, 103 , 110, 119 sats

Thanks, guys.
I found the 101 after borrowing my friend's 18" round. My pointing was way off.
Now I'll try to maximize the 99 and 103.
Thanks very much for all your help!
