DirecTV Troubles
Hello all, So i finally got back to my TT after a couple weeks away and the plan was to get the Directv dish installed and setup. Well i got the dish aimed and pointed where it supposed to but ever...

ok i will start from the beginning just to clear up the connection issues, i will need to buy a satellite finder then since this doesnt seem to be working.
I have this dish, with a brand new 25' rg6 i connect it from the LNB to the power to SWiM on the right side of the power inserter. I connect a brand new rg6 from the Signal to IRD to the back of the receiver.
I turn on the receiver and go to signal strength but everything is 0 no matter what dish type i choose. Here are the options, I have tried all of them but it always wants to be on 17.
1: Round (18")
2: 3-LNB (18"x20")
3: Slimline-3
4: Slimline-5
5: Round (18") & 72.5*
6: 3-LNB (18"x20") & 72.5*
7: Slimline-3 & 72.5*
8: Slimline-5 &72.5*
9: Round (18") & 95*
10: 3-LNB (18"x20") & 95*
11: Slimline-3 & 95*
12: Slimline-5 & 95*
13: Round & 72.5* & 95*
14: 3-LNB & 72.5* & 95*
15: Slimline-3 & 72.5* & 95*
16: Slimline-5 & 72.5* & 95*
17: Slimline-3S (SWM)
18: Slimline-5S (SWM)
I have only once playing around with it gotten a signal and that was only on 2 channels but the strength was at 58 and 57.
So is this just because I simply am way off on the aiming? Also i should be using the same elevation settings etc that are used at my home correct?
also when i do a system test i get 1 error and that code is 41-824 (satellite dish alignment or distribution problem
