Power Inserter needed for SWM tripod antenna
I just upgraded my SWM mounted tripod antenna to a SL3S LNB to receive HD on DTV. I understand I'll run one RG6 cable from LNB to the Power Inserter and then to my HD DTV receiver. I also purchased ...

Finally got it to work. Connection as follows:
SlimLine antenna with SL3S (1 eyeball) LNB to Splitter SWM 4 way IN; OUT to Power Inserter Power to SWM port to Power Inserter Signal to IRD (Sat Receiver) Sat 1.
After connecting this way, I no longer got the screen message: CANNOT DECTECT SWM, but I did get a message to not connect B Band Converters. I still hadn't aimed the dish properly, but as soon as I did, the signal meter on the Sat Receiver starting showing a signal. Fined tuned the signal by making small adjustments on the dish azimuth and elevation. Locked in all satellites. In my case those satellites are:
99(c); 101; 103(ca) and 103(cb). Got HD on all channels I subscribe as well as locals and national networks (east).
All is good.
