Ahhhhh, I am a newbie here Welcome to SatelliteGuys! You shouldn't need power inserters, how many receivers are you looking at using at each location? I have an SWM lnb single lnb?? I would like to have the ability to have 6 or so if i need to As I see it right now I can easily run 4 recievers from the single line lnb, but what kind of multiswitch do I need to run more than 4?
Sorry working outside, probably need this switch for that many Dec 12, 11, 1, Dorchester, TX. Click to expand Is the HR compatible? Any ideas on best transponders to use when aligning, aiming, pointing dish?
Supporting Founder. Lifetime Supporter. Dec 28, 30, 14, Cheshire CT. Okay, let me throw some updated info What I need help with is aligning it, aiming it. I have done the aiming with the "traditional" 4 wire LNB in the past with my receiver. Or do I have to have a meter???? I am trying to get set up for an install next weekend and need to get anything ordered additionally I might need. Thanks in advance Nov 17, 48 Mankato, MN. So I can use just a receiver, no meter, to do the initial alignment if the direct tv dish?
The direct tv install video states that using the receiver to do the initial alignment will damage the receiver??? Just double checking One other thing, I have looked at Wiring diagrams over and over. Using the single line from the dish, once it is aligned and I want to put up to 8 receivers into service, where does that single line go from the dish if I am using a SWM 8 multiswitch?

Navigate the menu using buttons on the receiver's front panel and the receiver's manual to find the correct azimuth horizontal and elevation vertical coordinates.
Determine and survey the dish's exact mounting site. Using the receiver's pointing coordinates, find the mounting site for your dish. Measure the number of feet meters of cable needed to finish the installation. Start assembling the satellite receiver dish. Bolt or screw in the satellite's plastic or metal reflector to its support arm.
This lets you preset the satellite to its correct elevation. Mount the mast, or pole, for the receiver. Multiple options exist for this step depending on where you install the dish roof, hollow wall, on brick or concrete, etc. Consult the self-installation guide to see instructions and the necessary tools for each option.
Make sure the mast is level to get a satellite signal. Use a bubble level to help you determine it is even. Put the satellite receiver dish on its mast. Attach the LNB to the receiver's support arm. Position a grounding block as closely as you can to the place where the dish's cable will run into the house.
Run the receiver dish's cable to the grounding block. The connection to the block binds the dish to an acceptable grounded point in the main building ground, such as an enclosure for electrical service equipment or a metallic service raceway. Run the RG-6 coaxial cable to the back of the receiver inside the house.
The RG-6 cable should also be connected to the grounding block. Make sure a landline phone is off its hook to avoid getting an electric shock from any incoming calls. Connect the receiver to a phone jack with the phone line. Check for a signal using the "Dish Pointing" menu's signal meter displayed on your TV screen. Adjust the dish's pointing to achieve your maximum signal strength. It depends on the connector on your surround sound system and your receiver sound. You will need to buy a wire that has a port compatible with your receiver in one end and with your sound system on the other end.
Yes No. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 2. It depends on what you call a pole. The dish needs to be mounted to a non-moving object. If your pole is like a wood 4x4, or a 2" diameter metal pole securely held into the ground with concrete, you should have no problems. When you mount the dish to a pole, the dish should not move at all.
Mine is mounted on an 8 ft 4x4 wooden post pole placed in a 3 ft deep post hole. After verifying the post was level, it was backfilled with dirt and inches of concrete.
