📡 SlimLine Single Wire DIRECTV SL3-SWM Triple LNB with Integrated Multiswitch for Ka/Ku Satellite Reception Review

good price and the reason i gave 3 stars just for easy installation was because i installed on my camper van dish and one Had to make adapters to make it straight was my weird attitude. On a regular SWM cymbal it glides instantly.

This item (see photo) will be replaced with an 'updated version' which looks slightly different and which I don't think will work with the Birdog USB Plus satellite signal meter. The original product (see photo) works with Birddog. But once the satellite dish is positioned correctly, the replacement product actually delivers a slightly higher signal strength.

Worked great to update an old slimline bowl that someone was looking to throw away. I wanted Direct TV in the van so with a dish and this newer style LNB, an HD receiver from home and a satellite stand I had nice HD and was up and running in minutes. This is a SWM style LNB so you must also have a power supply. Without an inserter installed, you get nothing. These SWM settings can be a little tricky to align, although I never spent more than 5 minutes setting it up after we parked and set up…

Firstly the LNB I received was not the model shown previously - it is a slightly narrower model with continuous horizontal grooves that you see in some other listings . , but it doesn't matter in terms of connectivity. I believe what is shown in the listing is an .R2 model, while the resulting model is .R5 (meaning "5th version of the model from my research"). Installation couldn't be simpler - no tools required - and just replacing my old .R2, I immediately noticed about 10% signal strength on

There was an old 5LNB that needed a 119° 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…

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…

I am very happy with this product. I installed it on my slimline dish and everything works great. It is important to note that it is designed for use on a flat slab only. We recently bought a second house and it already had a thin panel on the roof. I wanted to be able to take our receiver with us when we traveled there. Our main house has a thin tank so I bought this LNB to make the tank and LNB identical. The old LNB was multi-wire, so I just removed it, selected a cable, connected it, added…
