Hello,

I installed a Slimline 3 dish with the LNBF that has four identical outputs, no SWM. The receiver is an HR23, I am using two of the LNBF outputs. I set the receiver for Slimline 3, Multiswitch, Dual Tuner.

Using an inline signal meter, I adjusted the dish until I had max signal, then went to the signal strength screen, and satellite 101 had a good signal (98) on transponder 28, 30 and 32 only. All of the rest were 0. Satellites 99 and 103 are all 0's.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Did I lock onto the wrong satellite maybe?

Thanks!

Yup, it sounds like you are locked on 110 instead, so it needs to move 9 degrees

To the "right" presumably (ie, clockwise if I was looking down onto the mast)?

You are seeing 110. You need to see 101. You need to go approximately 9 to 12 degrees to the EAST (left as you are looking down on the post from behind the dish).

All set. Thanks for the help.
