I have a come across Voom dsr550 which is activated and works for OTA antenna reception. It also has the add-on module over the antenna connections. Very Happy. I also have come across 3 dishes which are less than 6 months old. 1 single LNB DirecTV, 1 triple LNB DirecTV oval, and 1 triple LNB Dish network oval. The direcTV units share a combiner box, and the Dish networks also has a combiner box. When I connect the outputs from the combiner box to the STB and go to setup dish alignment tool no signal is seen, and it wants a satellite id number in the upper right corner of the display.
Question 1: These dishes have not been moved since install, should I be able to see a signal from DirecTV even if Icannot see the programming?
Question 2: Where do I find the satellite ID it wants, it appears to be a numeric only? Do I need it, or when it sees a siginal it will fill it in?
Question 3: Will this work at all if I aim at a FTA satellite like Galaxy 10?
Question 4: This is all in direction to create a pvr, will a PCI HDTV tuner work with these dishes, but not the VOOM?
