  • Setup: Dish Configuration

    Should the Dish Type be set to 04:Slimline-5 or 18:Slimline-5S(SWM)
    -for example-
    when setting the Switch Type to 01:SWM ?

    When using a SWM8 multiswitch, the dish is set to Slimline-5, NOT 5S(SWM)

      Same with SWM5?

      Is this also true of SWM5? I've only used 8's before, so not being dense...

      BTW - Many thanks for your prompt response - you da man!

        Actually I am Dense.

        Dish config = Slimline 5
        Switch = SWM (rather than multiswitch)

        Correct?

          That is correct.

            hello,

            i have an hr22 and and h25-500.
            i have a slimline 5 and 95
            i have the sw8 and a PI
            i believe i hooked everything up ok since i can view the signals on the signal meter for all satellites on both receivers and can watch tv.
            what i dont understand is on the verifying configuration screen which shows an red x for 95 on odd and 2 red Xs for 103 both odd and even?
            did i do something wrong? what does this mean?
            should i tweak the dish or rewire some things?
            hope someone can help

              first thing ... be sure to have the 95 on flex port 1 .... also check the transponders on the 103 & see that they are all above 88... lyngsat shows l & r polarities on the 95 ...so not sure about it ... but just check & see on the signals there too.... sometimes i have seen the x in error with good signal ... if all your channels come in & everything works ... i wouldnt worry about it

                thanks for the response...
                after a few hours on the roof switching out wires and switching out switches and switching out the lnb and constant checking of the verifying configuration, i still had the red x's

                i gave up and decided to try to get get signal levels of the 95 and 99 and 103 up to as high as i could get...after getting near or above 90s...and verifying the configuration again, it was successful...
                so i guess i got the error message due to low signal strength...
