Is there any videos that you suggest to watch on installing and aligning a new Slimline swm 3 dish and since I don't want ot buy a more expensive alignment sat finder , what is the procedure for that.. I have a older sat finder for the older 18 inch round but don't think that's any good for the new unit.. Any cheap ones on ebay that work for this dish?

Ok I thought I read somewhere that I should not do that,, that you should not power on the unit without it toned in to the sat ?
I'm not aware of that being an issue. No doubt one of the regular installers will show up here soon.
Technically there is. Per the installers handbook once a receiver boots up connected to the lnb, the lnb will exit pairing mode. I'm not going to argue whether it's possible or not but that's you official answer. The current supported method of peaking a kaku is only to use the aim and to dither. These are in house rules however. We all know other things can be done. Your best bet is to find a local installer and bribe him personally to do it lol.

I used the AP DR App on my find to locate the satellites in the sky. I then aimed the dish at 101 and slowly rotated and angled it until I got a strong signal on 101.
I then slightly adjusted the tilt until 99 and 103 came in. Just mm of movement makes a huge difference.

Seriously ???
Theres a problem if you don't use thier meter ? Imagine that ....
People have been setting up recvrs all the way back to the very first without a meter, now they want to tell you you shouldn't do that ?

Jimbo, Believe it or not that is in house rules. They don't even want us using birdogs anymore for some reason. Like kitty said, we all know the truth, he was just stating the rule is all

However, the rules don't apply outside of the work environment.
If your setting up your own, they can't tell you that you have to now suddenly use THIER meter or it's not gonna work.
Of course they don't want you to use the Birdog anymore, you've already paid for the perfectly good unit AND seeing they OWN the AIM rights.
So, what are you doing with your NOW USELESS Birdog you've used all along ?
Are you selling it for cheap seeing is according to them, isn't good enough ?
Or .... do you hang on to it, just in case you may need it someday when the AIM battery dies and you can't use it for however long it takes to charge ?
I still have mine. Never know when you go camping when somebody could walk up and need a dish peaked in. Quick $20! Mines programmed for both directv and dish
same here.. and like i origionally stated, I was just responding with the "proper" method. I realize you can do whatever gets it done.
