Hello fellows , perhaps girls like me as well, need some help please.
I am doing a self install of a slimline 3 SWM (forgive me that I do not have the proper lingo)
So anyway, I have the slimline 3 set up,I am getting 101,110,119 fine, I am watching SD on my HR24 HD receiver.
Wanted to ask if I am missing anything, I have the The Dirtectv 21 Volt power inserter and I have A zinwell 2x4 multi switch, this came from a Directv retailer complete.
First I wanted to know if the switch is absolutely necessary because I only have 1 receiver?
Also the slimline 3 LNB has 4 outputs, and doesn`t it have some type of built in switch in the head?
I tried it without the switch, and with the power inserter hooked up behind my receiver, but when I switch to slimline 3 with SWM in satellite setup of HR24, it says cant find SWM?
I read that a switch is necessary as well, So I was wondering if the Zinwell 2x4 multiswitch is the right one?
It has the 18v on the left and 13 v on the right, now do I just run a wire from each of those to 2 of the 4 outputs on the Slimline 3 lnb?
I read it should be dish to switch to Power inserter to IRD, but some of the switches I have seen, only have 1 wire to go in to them.
I was thinking I should take my Zinwell 2x4 ms and run 1 wire from 18 v input to far left output of LNB and then hook up 13 v input to the 2nd of the 4 outputs of the LNB and then output 1 on switch to Power inserter, then to Receiver?
Any help would be great fellows
