Can't select 18' round dish

Question

I am trying to set up a portable dish and am using a SD receiver from the house.  When I tried to select the '18' round dish' it skips right over it.  The dish that is currently hooked up is a Slimline.  Why is it skipping over what I want?

I assume that you have a SWM dish at home. If that is the case, you need to select 'multi switch' as the switch type FIRST before you can change the dish type
