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.
