Satellite Setup

Sorry , I need to start from the beginning again.
I took the second receiver SD12-500 from my girlfriends house , and want to take it rving with us.
But lets start at home on my tV.
I purchased used a slimlime dish and SL3S lnb exactly like the one on her roof .
When I hook up everything to my to my tv and run run System Test , I get SWM not detected but im sure this is not the newer SWM LNB .
Now im not 100% positive my dish is pointed exactly correct but i have used DishPointer.com to try my best ....Your help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you , D
  • Found this on another RV forum: In setup, this might help: Highlight the multiswitch setting first and select "multiswitch". Then you should be able to change the dish type.
  • Sorry D12-500 and No ....there is nothen else on my girlfriends dish and lnb either.
  • I could not locate anything called an SD12-500.

    You probably need a power inserter for the lnb. Do you have that?
