AU9 with 4 outputs and Accutrac III

[kittie217]

I am upgrading from a RCA tivo I had an 30in dish with original single lnb. I bought an HR21, on that dish now and get 90s on most transponders but all I get is 101 sat.

I got an slimline dish with an AU9 lnb. I used an Accutrac III to point it and get 50s on the sat meter for all five sats. But the HR21 shows no signal on any sat.

Questions:
My lnb has 4 outputs. Should my old RCA tivo be able to get a signal from the new lnb?

Do I have run all four outputs to some switch and then to the IRDs?

Is there something I have to do to HR 21 besides doing the dish setup?

If the cable works with the old setup will it work with the new lnb/dish?

Is it a bad LNB?

I ordered a SL3 SWM lnb for the new dish. Do I need an ASL-1 to point that?

Any help would be great?

the rca should work with the non swm lnb

Do I have run all four outputs to some switch and then to the IRDs?

you can run 4 tuners with the non swm lnb....has built in switch


Is there something I have to do to HR 21 besides doing the dish setup?

no just run setup


If the cable works with the old setup will it work with the new lnb/dish?

use rg6 cable




Is it a bad LNB?

probably not ... but you need to follow setup & pointing instructions to the (T)


I ordered a SL3 SWM lnb for the new dish. Do I need an ASL-1 to point that?

yes ... you need the asl...


what i do when using swm ... point with non swm lnb & peak to the max... then swap lnb

Any help would be great?



you must be sure that pole is plumb... & settings are exact....tilt.. el.. az..
