My mess up?

Great forum and I believe it helped me figure out my own mess up!!  I just want to confirm what I believe.

 

We are real new to Directv and when we became customers we were given a tripod, portable dish, cable etc.

 

We are out camping for a couple of days in the travel trailer.

 

Started  trying to get set up yesterday evening and this morning and just can't get a satellite signal.

 

I believe the problem is this:

 

I grabbed the HD receiver out of the kitchen as we left. Model # H25-500.

 

The dish is a Phase 3LNB.

 

I do not believe the 2 are compatible.

 

I have changed the dish settings, aligned the satellite dish etc etc.

 

Am I correct of am I messed up somewhere else?

 

thanks for the help.

The H25 only works with the Single Wire Mutliswitch dish.  It won't work with your Phase III dish.
