Installation - HD Channels

the photo posted looks like an SL3

I think it is as well, but his post had it already showing up as a Slimline5 on the screen.

"the dish configuration is set to 04:Slimline 5"

Just checking.

btw, this is a NON SWM ... correct ?

not sure

IF, it IS a SWM, then it will be detected with the correct set up automatically. (provided the PI is in the system) otherrwise the unit wont see the LNB.

SL3 is a swm lnb

All SL3s are swms?

Saw an older pic I had on file that appears to be a non swm sl3.

No, it's not.

The SL3 were out long before the SWM was.

D12 is showing 99, 110, 119 all good strength 90+
Just double checked and it's the older non swm
Tested the dish configuration to 03:slimline 3 and it only saw the 99 degree satellite, so put it back to 04:slimline 5

post 24 says SL3 is a swm lnb which does exist. didn't mean they are only swm. if i wasn't clear enough i apologize
you said they're not.maybe you didn't mean all either. so can we move on with helping the OP please? thanks

 

[Jimbo]

I was helping the OP fine ...
We were discussing/ trying to determine weather he has a SL3 or a SWM SL3 or possibly a SL5.

 

[HIFI]

The SL3 and SL5 both have SWM and (legacy) KA/KU styles due to many upgrades cannot use the SWMs without replacing older equipment like anything older than the D12 and the R16.

you didn't know if the SL3 was in swm. so i posted the proof there is. i don't know what the problem is.

Ok, just got the HR24, it does not have an active access card, on set up for 04:SlimLine 5 the following satellites are showing, note the 110 degree Odd box has no symbol, just grey in color. 103 degree even is X all other boxes with the exception of 110 has check marks.

View attachment 75406View attachment 75407View attachment 75405I have an opportunity buy a HR24-200 to replace my D12 non-hd receiver but don't know if it will work with my current slimline dish.
Can one of you experts advise me on this?

are these actual pics of your setup or pics you found online?
