Review on πŸ“‘ SlimLine Single Wire DIRECTV SL3-SWM Triple LNB with Integrated Multiswitch for Ka/Ku Satellite Reception by Dhoal Shankar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hooray! Our signal is back!

There was an old 5LNB that needed a 119Β° satellite connection. Unfortunately, the trees grew and blocked it, so we lost the signal and could no longer receive guidance information. At some point it got so bad that the receiver didn't start anymore. This solves this problem as it only uses new satellites. All I had to do was swap the LNB on the dish, reset the receiver and voila! For those who need a quick explanation, 5LNB uses the older satellites 101, 110 and 119. (Satellite 119 is very low in the sky and can be difficult to get a line of sight due to trees or buildings.) 3LNB uses newer satellites a lot denser group on 99, 101, 103. These are the only ones needed for most channels. (I think some Spanish channels may be missing.)

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
