D12-700 receiver satellite setup

[Geo Travel]

I have two regular receivers (D-12's) recently installed. I planned on using one of the D 12-700 in my RV but can't get it to switch to single lnb, round dish or to a 3-lnb 18" X 20" dish. I can see the 18" Round dish options but system jumps among slimline options and those are the only one's I can pick from the "slimline" family of dishes.

Anyone out there having the same issues?
Anyone using a D-12 receiver in their RV?


I appreciate you help

What does this mean?

If your D12 is setup as Slimline 3 or 5, you should be good going directly to a round dish without rerunning satellite setup.

My current setup is for slimline 3 and I am using swm.....when I move the receiver to my 18" round multiswitch dish the system stays in searching for satellite signal 771...I know I have to reconfig my receiver but I am not able to pick the 18" option. Somehow the system does not allow me to do that. I am sure that I am missing something on the procedure.

Make sure that you select the "multiswitch" option rather than "SWiM". Going back and forth between SWM and non-SWM can be difficult.

On a SWM system, the dish type is auto-selected; you can't change it.

Once hooked up to a non-SWM dish, you should be able to switch it.

Now things are making sense in my mind from a few days ago... :grin:
