Set up for tailgate

dish:   Slim Line SL3PIG-Z

receiver:  H24

 

I am getting error 771a.

 

When I started setting up the dish, I was using the "signal strength" screen to find my signal.  Now, all I get is the 771a error.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Look at your dish LNB assembly .... does it have four coax outputs or one?  If it has just one, then it's a SWM LNB and you need the SWM Power Inserter to power the dish.  If it has four, then you probably need to repeat the H24's Satellite Setup and specify "multiswitch" and the correct dish type (03: Slimline - 3).

It has 4 coax outputs.

 

I repeated the set up

 

Dish Type:  03: Slimline-3

Switch Type: 02: Multiswitch

 

I get a message:  ! B-Band Converters required

 

After verifying configuration I get the message:  !A satellite signal could not be detected.  Please check your installation and re-test.

Right.  If you want any HD channels, you'll need a BBC Module connected to the H24's SAT INPUT.  They're free by call DirecTV.
