Choosing the right dish type

How can I be sure that I have the right dish type in my setup screen? They all show "errors on both tuners"

Hit Menu on your remote... Then go to Parental Fav's & Setup > System Setup... on the right hand side, you should see a "Dish Type"... according to your signature, it should say "Slimline-5"...

Where are you seeing these errors on both tuners? Are you having any reception issues?

No issues. Just noticed they have many options in the set up now and when I use the current setup my installer gave me back when I first got the dish he selected 5 multi LNB dish but not sure why I would get errors on every setup.

Ah...

Not sure why you're getting errors.... but you're going to want to select "Slimline-5"... and maybe you should try rebooting after that... Go back into the menu.. and choose the next to last option... "Reset"... then choose "Restart Receiver"...

If it helps I have the larger slimline dish. Got installed right around the time HD was becoming an option on Directv.
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, you will select "Slimline-5" either way... maybe someone else can verify that...

Mine looks like # 1
K... Definitely a Slimline-5 then... :)
Have you seen the options that I have in my setup? I have slimline-5 but I have other options along with that and not sure what for or even what they mean.
