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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not suitable. for satellite TV sets

Does not fully fit my OEM DirecTV dish mount. All properties seem to be right; I was trying to replace a DirecTV SL3 SWM single wire LNB and apart from the connector placement mine is exactly the same as the picture but the one I received had the connector in "position 1" instead from "position 3". -- looks the same. But it won't fit. I can't quite get my hands on it, can't even get close to the screws in the LNB holes. I even tried "polishing" the neck of the LNB and the inside of my cymbal mount but it still didn't work. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because I could probably sand/polish it enough for it to work. in. But this is wrong. I have no idea (bad instrumentation aside) why the one I got was about 1/16-1/8 inch larger than the one I was trying to replace, but it just doesn't work for me. Sent back for a refund.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
