Using Directv HDDVR versus SDDVR

[dontexas]

Want to use our HDDVR in TT instead of our SDDVR previously used.

Dish is 18 by 20 model AU2F3. HD receiver is HR24-100. Am I good to go ???

slimline.. 5.(3 blobs on the hose). are you also using a "B" converter..

I have the same receiver... had to get a 60 dollar dish (antenna)... with the "B" converter, 15 dollars.

NO beeps...
I use a homemade LOW profile PVC pipe mount..

DIRECTV SlimLine 5 LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line LNB for Satellite Dish (SL5)

I get all the HD channels. and HD local channels.

Are you using a SWM SL3 with a power inserter or a standard SL3. If the former, did you remember to bring the PI?

Ivylog said slimline, ok which selection ?

03:Slimline-3 doesn't seem to be working..... Help ?

If you're using a SWM setup the correct selection would be SWM3, I believe.

Bill.Satellite Used this setup at rv all last summer. Can't remember satellite type used in setup.......

Has sl3 lnb (99/101/103)

Did you replace your old antenna? If not, you still can't get HD with a triple LNB antenna (oval dish or not). You must have the new SL3 LNB and I would suggest that you buy the SWM SL3 so you can use a DVR but require only 1 coax.

Do you folks with the Directv HDDVR 24-100 get a beeping sound when using the signal meter function? A DTV technician changed out my old dvr and I do not get any sound with the signal meter function.

no. the 24 doesn't beep.. they added it back on the 34 and 44 (Genie)

Ivylog Replaced the LNB as per your suggestions. First timer out and have 1 question. In setup what dish shape do I select ? Thanks

There is NO HD available with that antenna. It will only receive 101, 110 and 119 and you need 101 plus 99 and 103. 110 and 119 are no longer of much use.

OP, if you replace the current lnb (for 101, 110 and 119) with a SL3 lnb (99/101/103) it will work for HD. Because of it's smaller size (easy to store) in the northern states and Canada the signal may be too week to get HD but it will still get 101 (non HD).
