I have a KVH in motion dish on the RV but it is not capable of receiving HD Channels so I got a Directv Slimline 5 LNB dish with SWM technology how do I set up the system so I can use either dish? The KVH uses 2 lnbs and a multiswitch.

Your KVH has only 1 LNB (called a dual LNB due to having dual outputs). It can see only one satellite at a time and usually just the 101 satellite for the DTV SDTV programming.
To change from this setup to a tripod mounted SL5 antenna you will need to go to Menu>Settings>Satellite>Repeat Satellite Setup>Dash and then set the new antenna type and switch type here. While here, click on Signal Strength and then Signal Meter. Get yourself locked onto the 3 main satellites (99, 101, 103) with 70+ signals and then complete the setup routine. You should be watching TV once you have it all setup correctly.

You need to read up on SWM technology and howmit is setup. Basically one coax from the dish thru a splitter and power supply. None of which you use with the dome.

You'll have to tell the receiver which dish you're using.
