Phase III 5 tuners

The Phase III dish only has four outs and I need to feed three D12's and a R22 (2x tuner DVR). What type of multi-switch setup should I be using? Or would it make more sense to use a SWiM-type ODU?

There are two coax cables coming from the phase III dish, the one with side LNB's. If I want to use this camping can I hook up an H25-500 or an HR22-250 to the dish? If only using one tv can I hook up directly to the dish or do I need a multiswitch?

I have a Sony Bravia TV and a Bose 321 III sound system connecting to a Direct TV Genie.

That's probably because the geometry of the Phase III dish is designed to line up on the 110 satellite whereas the slimline is aligned on 101, so you should probably start with the Phase III settings, but of course with a mismatched dish and LNB, any

CHANGE LNB'S FOR HD

I currently have a older AU-9 3 LNB dish that was left on my house. Now that the HD programs have changed to differantSatelittes, Can I just change to a SL3 4 output and use the same back plane and make no other changes in my wiring?

Question

It might be that your dish is out of alignment. Do you get error messages when you try to tune one of those channels? If it's an LNB problem, you can't just replace one of the LNBs, they share electronics. You have to get a triple LNB assembly, for

Faulty LNB

My directv satellite dish has 3 LNBs. I can no longer receive Channels 156, 611, 209and a few others. Does that mean that one of my LNBs is faulty??? If so, can I replace that LNB ???

Question

yes, cabletech is correct, although it would be a poor way of getting 8 receivers since they would only get the 101 satellite. Only really worthwhile if you had a Phase III oval dish and two 2x4 multiswitches lying around, and only needed SD from 1
