h24-700 adding a slimline dish

Adding a slimline dish to our RV setup with a H24-700 receiver. Can not get the system to detect a signal. Have checked a 100 times that the dish is pointed correctly. What else could it be. Also using a Swim.

Is it an SWM dish and LNB, and do you have a power inserter.

you need to add a Swm two splitter connect a PI-29 to port one and your receiver to port # 2 --your Slimeline down lead connects to the single top port of the swm splitter.

As suggested the Swm LNB need POWER

I do, and we did that. We FINALLY got transponder 101 to get mostly 90's with a handful of zeros. The only other transporter that comes up is 119 and it mostly says N/A. Got excited to verify we had a signal...but guide cant' be acquired and we get the message that we've lost our satellite signal.

Looks like you may need a NEW LNB --The Guide info Comes from the 101 so if your missing a lot of transponders o's --it could also be a Corroded RG-6 outside wire connections as well --I suggest you check those first.

Are you sure you are getting 101?  Post back with all your 101 signals.

Threw the towel in for today. Heading to get a drink. This is why my husband just wants to get the mounted one done...stressful! And the entire dish set up is brand new, so can’t imagine the LNB is bad. Thanks.
