Direct Tv Hd Upgrade
We have been using our old dtv small satellite and Sd receiver for Over 10 years. We had to get a new receiver and it's a plain Jane HD receiver. I have used a baby monitor to listen to the audio tone...

Having been through this a couple of years ago, here's my two cents.
1. You have to set the receiver to use a standard 18" round dish
2. You have to set the receiver to show Standard Definition channels
3. You have to set the receiver to use Multiswitch NOT SWM
Alignment is the same as a standard dish box.
Not having the "beeping" sound is ultra frustrating!
Satellite finders are not really useful.
When I have line of sight, I can generally get the satellite in about 10 minutes.
Don't forget to reset your box when you return home. Don't forget to look at your settings before you leave home and write them down.
