Why no TV signal?
I have been using Dish HD for some time but switched recently to Directv. They sold me a Genie HR-44 and three C-41's and installed them on the house. I bought a SWM-3 Slimline dish to mount outsi...

@donn0128:well, I suppose so. I have never been able to just set the dish and have it work, but I am not familiar with Directv setup. And I really doubt that the LNB is working. I know the power is getting to the LNB, but I have no way other than the Directv setup to find the satellite since my simple device does not seem to work. I usually am able to move the dish from side to side and a little up or down and locate one of the satellites, then hone in on it from there, but that does not seem to work with this Directv setup. I get nothing period.
I verified that the cables are all R6, the Flair has a sticker on the tv input that says 'satellite ready' and like I said I used this for Dish HD already and it worked, so I'm thinking that I got a bad LNB.
I'll return home and substitute these parts for the ones at the house (once I get it working there again) and see if the LNB works in my house dish, the power inserter works etc.. and also see what the part numbers are. If I choose something other than 17, it switches it back to 17 during the process.
The parts for the camper setup should be the same at least that is what I thought that I bought. I would like one of those powered satellite finders, but it is so expensive. One guy says that he uses the sound from the setup of directv to listen while he adjusts - that is great, except I get absolutely no signal.
