Changing an HR22 from the SWM ant to another Ant setup
I recently moved and in the process my dish was switched to a SWM dish. Now I cannot seem to change the dish type back to my old slimline 5 dish which I need to use on my RV. Will the setup allow me to change once I unhook the SWM dish or do I change back and forth

Before I was switched to a SWM system I could do all that you suggest. Now my dish type and switch type are grayed out and I cannot get into them to change. Do you know if I will not have the grayed out items once I unhookm the SWM Ant

It's important that you specify the switch type BEFORE specifying the dish type. That's not the order they're displayed in the menu, so it's confusing.

Again - the switch type and dish type are grayed out and I can't highlight either of them to change.

the receiver cannot be connected to a SWM system. you need to connect the receiver to the RV dish FIRST before you can do any of the above.
