Directv Receiver Issue?

Is it possible that a Directv receiver may not be compatible with a Kingdome? I am so ready to change to Dish Network...

  • I got problem with the new H25 receiver .Don't work with my slimline dish.To make it work I need to replace the LBM with LBM SWM.I did that and now everything is OK.So to everybody if you get the new H25 directv receiver you need a LBM SWM.
  • Actually, DirecTV HD receiver will work. You just won't see any of the HD programming.
  • Just make sure your DirectTV isn't HD. HD as said above, won't work on the Kingdome.

    Anything is possible! It's also possible to have a Dish receiver that is not compatible with your Kingdome.
    Exactly what receiver model number are you using and have you done the necessary setup changes in the receivers setup menu?
  • We have DirecTv and a KD.
    Set the rec. for an 18" round dish
    Make sure feed cable is from main off dish. This is the programming conn.
  • Most DirecTV receivers should work with your KingDome. You will not be able to receive HD but you should have no problem with Standard Definition channels. The only exception would be if you have an SWM-only receiver.
