Try asking your question at http://www.dbstalk.com/forum/54-directv-installationmdu-discussion/ I think you may need to provide some more details. Good luck!

Mike,I use an App on my smart phone called "Dish Align". It is very good and gives you all the information you need to set up your Dish and get you going on other things you need to get done. I connect to the dish with two cables for two different receivers and it works every time. There is no switches to use on this item. I have a slim line and have not had any problems with it at all. I use a tripod when I am camping and connect right into my 5th wheel. Only had one issue and it was a bad cable. I hope this works for you. Try the app on your smart phone. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Mike,I use an App on my smart phone called "Dish Align".

I am also not an expert, but I have an HR44 and HR24 with a Slimline 5. You really should talk with DIRECTV as I believe the whole house functionality with only work with 2 HR-XX's. I recommend replacing the B-Band converters and switching to SWM, as it eliminates the wiring mess from the dish. It works well. Be careful re the "Genie" ... DIRECTV seems to use the term to describe both the HR34 and the HR44. The HR44 is a significantly better unit. Smaller and near zero latency re channel switching. The HR34 has real problems. I got rid of mine.

To be honest, I don't know. Here is what it does. It looks around for the 101 satellite. When it gets that locked in good, it twisted the dish for 110, 103 & 99. The LNBs on the tree receive the various satellites. It does this wonderfully in the USA. Now if the European people are using the frequencies that DirecTV uses and their satellites have the same juxtaposition, you have a winner. You need to research what frequencies are on the various DirecTV satellites and on the European satellites. If the LNBs use the same frequencies and off -axis satellites match up, the dish will lock in IF all that works, the receiver will, of course, work. Please note, the "receiver" will be from your service provider, not Winegard. The Winegard mechanism does a wonderful job of finding the satellites - that's all. Looking at all the Ifs, the probability is low.

Yes, this dish will work with the 95W Linear Satellite Signal (Vertical) from DIRECTV. It is the only dish you would need to get the DIRECTV channels from the 95W. It also includes an LNB for the 101W (Circular) which is used for activation, and receiving guide data. Both LNBs should be connected. A 4x4, 4x8, 6x8 or SWM switch should be used to combine the two satellite signals (95W/L/V and 101W/C)

You need a dish to receive satellite tv. Also, note that Linear needs a larger dish than Circular .. at least 90cm. DirectTV and Dish use circular polarization hence they can use smaller dishes (multi-pathing). You will need a dedicated dish and rotator unless you just want to receive just one satellite, such as PBS. With a 6' dish you can get some C-band with a mini-BUD. Sounds like you have some homework to do but in any event this receiver purchased a year ago now has been very unreliable, even without driving the dish rotator motor. Suggest you google Sadoun Satellite and read .. and watch their videos. Good Luck .. enjoy your challenges and rewards. You need a dish to receive satellite tv.

Yes this is for the Direct TV Single Wire Multiswitch (SWM) system. It is not for the previous systems. The antenna, inserter, multiswitch, and receivers must be compatable with this newer system.

No conversion should be necessary. This connects directly from your antenna coax into the Dish receiver. Your locals will be integrated into the channel list.

the thing is Called LMB and no you will also need the dish satellite and receiver. to be able to use dish.

I use my home receiver from DirectTv without any changes. I just plug it in and the satellite does the rest. There is a switch under the white dome that must be changed if you are using a Dish receiver. I don't have to switch it but according to the instructions it's just a flip of the switch to change the receiver/satellite settings.

Has anyone the answer to this question yet? I just purchased this product and already have the DISH Satellite system. Ideally want to use just one remote, of course.

Yes, but keep in mind this package does not contain an LNB. If you currently have a dish with an compatible LNB you may be able to remove it from the current dish and install it on this dish. If you currently do not have a dish with an LNB for your receiver, an SWM system (SiWM) or SWM SL5S LNB that uses the single wire technology with power injector will be needed.

No sure what you mean by you have C-Band Satellite only??? This dish and LNBF combination will not receive C-Band. Now if you something set wrong in your receiver, it may show up as a c-band frequency. You can email me at sales@nc-electronics if I can help.

Check your dish's signal strength - a booster isn't going to solve your problem IMHO. I have DirecTV, so speaking from experience. Perhaps your dish isn't aligned properly (it happens) or something is blocking the signal or the cable ends from the dish to the multiswitch are loose. I have runs to multiple TV's, one of which is over 50' - no signal loss at all. Also check the connections from the channel box to your TV, if this comes loose, you can get a weaker signal. Hope this helps.

Don't know, I purchased to work with Dish. Why would you consider Direct as it's labeled for Dish?
