Questions & Answers
Whenever we reach a campground, I turn on the TV and the DirecTV DVR. As soon as I get the Settings for the satellite dish antenna, I choose the location of the campground. For mounting the dish, I use a tripod and a 2" mast. With the use of a compass, I choose a spot near the RV where there is a clear line of sight to the satellite, where the tripod will be set up. In order to make the mast as plumb as possible, adjust the tripod's adjustment screws. Once the dish is mounted and the coax cable connected, the dish is ready for use. A dish is rotated according to the meters on the television until the best signal is picked up. The signal meters are monitored by my wife, and walkie talkies are used to communicate. An elevation adjustment is made to optimize the A maximum signal strength of 100% can be obtained in most cases within five In order to accomplish this procedure, take as much time as is necessary to plumb the mast. The antenna comes with a bubble level that will be used to plumb the mast. Since this antenna works best on level ground, the tripod usually has to be moved around to find a spot with line of sight to the satellite, which is more difficult to get as you go north. We have successfully used the antenna across Canada and as far north as Fairbanks, Alaska.

I found this kit to be excellent for my RV compared to some of the other reviews. Everything was new and in great shape, and nothing was damaged during shipping. It took me some time to learn how to do this. The task I had to do was- You can learn about Directv online. It used to take me a long time but now it is done in a relatively short period of time. You do have to show Getting the most out of my smart phone has been easy thanks to two apps I downloaded You can find it in Google Play, and it shows you the exact satellite location and the coordinates at any time no matter where you are, as well as a smart compass which, when held vertical, shows exact magnetic headings for the direction the phone is pointing to. I had to fumble around for a while the first time, but now I know how to do it, and it's fairly straightforward to do it again. However, if you are frustrated with the setup process, you are probably better off opting for a $1700 version that can do it all for you. Although, I like saving a little bit of money as well.
Firstly, the dish arrived in a way I had never seen before - I have never received a parcel that was so well packed. Although the packaging took some time to get out of, I'm pretty sure that the UPS truck could have run it over without destroying the parts inside. The instructions were thorough and all of the parts were included. My research time was taken up more by finding the perfect location (i. e. My neighbors and the trees were out of the way) and I had all the tools I needed than to actually mount and level the wall. The best compass is a good compass I was unable to get an accurate reading using one of the compass apps on my smart phone. Luckily, I had an engineering compass from my boy scout days, and it worked just fine. Detectors that work with cheap satellite dishes can't be used with SWM dishes, but most of the newer receivers can handle them (HR3-Type, etc. You can also use their signal on other devices (i. e. , phones, etc. ) An effective method of measuring strength indicators.
My order was based on the fact that DirecTV said they had to wait at least 6 weeks until they could install a new dish for HD programming, and this was the best deal In just a few hours after sending in my order, I received an email from Amazon telling me the package had been shipped, but I could not locate a tracking number in FedEx's system. Just then, I began to worry about the vendor. Suddenly, I noticed my credit card had been charged, and I was beginning to wonder what was going on. But don't worry, the package was taken care of by FedEx several days later and delivered I am delighted to report that the dish has arrived in excellent condition. Though the packaging was not original to the factory, it was in a much better state than any other A mile of tape must have been used, and after unpacking the dish I spent a long time cutting up the packaging in order to fill the recycle bin with all of it. Sacred Heart had everything it needed to install and set up the dish included in the package. My own dish setup has been researched online (and I have watched the videos DirecTV uses to train its technicians) but I still was unsure if I was ready for the task. During the installation, everything went very smoothly (I was able to do this much faster than the Tech did one of my past installations on behalf of DirecTV). While some other reviewers have used expensive generic satellite finders for setup, I was able to use a low-cost one from a generic website that I then verified on the DirecTV setup page. There was extensive and complete information in the instructions but they seemed to be for a more general installation as there were numerous options listed. Despite DirecTV's claim that I would have to wait six weeks or more to install my dish, I was up and running in HD just over a week after I contacted them.
As of today, I still haven't been able to get this piece of garbage to work (purchased May 20 2018) It is unclear where the seller is located and that the seller has been useless in terms of customer service. It is setup right next to a working dish, but there is no signal on the new dish. What I'd really like is a box to package it up and send back to the Don't waste your money with one that won't work! Call DIRECTV today!.
This device wouldn't work because there was a bend somewhere in it. An antenna from Direct TV had to be installed by them. My technician tried to hook up the antenna I purchased, but it was unable to work. In order to confirm it was my antenna, he showed me the readout on the TV screen. It is then installed free of charge by them. In the event that I had contacted them from the beginning, the system would have been up and running much more quickly. My recommendation for this product is to stay away from it.
comes with the power supply and is a SWM. There are no instructions for this dish, but a quick google search led me to a pdf file that contained all the details. The SiaFinder Lite app was downloaded to my iPhone and I was able to quickly point the dish in the general direction without needing I had it perfectly aligned within a few minutes after making a few minor adjustments.
It contains an error, it contains no instructions, and the customer service is bad. Although no instructions were included, I was able to put it together. It took me four attempts at a remote cabin in Texas to get it to work. I finally got a DTV service guy to come and check out the dish, and he determined that the LNB was defective. Luckily, he had a spare LNB, so the dish worked fine. It cost me $100 to have the service call made. Seller was asked to refund me a portion of the price due to their It was stated by the seller that I had to return the entire dish for a full Due to the dish's location on top of a remote cabin, it can't be reached. A one star rating is due to the defective product and the poor customer service provided.
I am getting great signals. Damage to my old dish was caused by roofers. The new receiver has a smaller LNB than my old one and is still capable of picking up all the North American channels I want to watch. With fine adjustment screws, it is easy to aim. It can be installed by itself by The 24 acts as a signal meter and telephone at the same time. I got a great signal in the 90s. I was lucky to have it mount on my old post without a problem.
