I don’t know then. You can still trying to Google your problem but way back when we just used to compass.

Thats the problem. I just figured out i have a SWM dish trying to come straight to the box. Dont think it works like that.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am not too familiar with the SWM setup. Assuming you need a compatible receiver and the switch box.

I believe the SWM compatible dishes only have one hookup and you connect it to the switch before running it to your reciever. Obviously if it's a 3LNB or 5LNB dish locking in a signal is going to be difficult.

Are you using the power inserter and a compatible receiver?

I know some of the newer recievers require SWM and no longer support the older dishes such as the 18" round that only got SD

I believe that is the old basic standard definition receiver. I would get an old 18" round dish setup. You won't need the power inserter and will be a lot easier to aim.

Obviously no HD, but as long as you get it level and have a compass should be fairly easy
