So, need to convert to SWM?

I currently have SL3.  Will the SL5 geometry work, without any dish adjustments?

DTV is shutting down the MPEG2 channels so you need a slimline SWM dish and MPEG4 receivers to continue using the service, they are offering a free swap for both if your receivers. are SD only.

DTV is no longer using the 119 sat that the 5 LNB gets.

@shannon02 were you referring this to the OP’s receiver or the LNB? I was just confused because SWM is not required to receive the 99 and 103 sats. Just an SL5 or SL3 LNB (non-SWM) and Hi-DEF receiver (H20-H24 and HR20-HR24 with the special R22 if an HD receiver is active on the account)

Since all new receivers require SWM might as well convert now, all they need is a power inserter and a SWM splitter.

What DVR/Receiver model numbers do you have?
