Basic alignment help Slimline WNC model BAU

[pkg-man]

I am trying to set up a Direct TV satellite dish and am having a hard time undertanding the process. Apparently I need to hit more than 1 satellite here. 101 110 and 119???
1. When peaking the 101 do I start with the dish at the settings given by the Receiver and inputed zip code? ie.. 217 37.5 67 then just rotate antenna till I get strong signal with signal finder.

2. After fine tuning the 101 I then use the tilt to fine tune the 119 signal. At this point do I do something different with the receiver? the book says "select 119 satellite and an odd number transponder on the customer receiver to power the lnb ( I do not understand this). How do I know when the receiver is setr to the 119 vs. the 101.

then there's the 110 which shows up in the list as well

I am sure I am making this more complicated than it is. maybe it is just a terminology issue beings this is my first "dish experience". I can wait for theinstall guys next week but being an Engineer I prefer to undestand what is going on in case the dish get moved in the future.


any help would be appreciated

they want you to go to the sat signal screen & choose the 119 sat & odd numbered transponder

turns out my dvrhd receiver was not working correctly. I tried the set up with the standard receiver and got all the screens and signal meters working correctly. Dish is all set. piece of cake. now I have a new problem. my cable from the dish comes into the house and to a 4 way splitter ( splits signal to 4 different rooms in house. I cannot get a signal to any receiver in the house if I go through that splitter. Is there a special splitter required? How do I get the signal to all 4 rooms?
