SWM 3lnb Install

[rwjga]

I am looking to do a self install of a SWM 3LNB Dish at my vacation home so I can bring my HR24 receiver with me when I go on vacation. I have installed single LNB Dish's before without having any type of meter, just using the info the receiver shows on how strong the signal is. Am I likely to be able to to this? Anyone have hints that would be useful?

You should be able to get a signal using the aiming values from the receiver.
But, you should go to dishpointer.com and use the multi-sat selection to 99/101/103.
Make sure the mast is plumb and the elevation and tilt are set correctly.
Slowly move the dish in azimuth and using the receiver's signal strength screen see if you can get a signal.
Once that is done you'll need to "dither" the dish to get the best possible values.
