Getting Ready - Part 3

Some more progress on getting ready for the road happened today. I got the LNB for DirecTV installed and DirecTV activated. I bought the TV Kit from Dustyfoot and it came with pretty clear instructions. If you contact Dustyfoot, Scott Whitney is very helpful and responsive to emails.

The only thing confusing was that the LNB has two cables attached and the provided 50 foot cable is also dual. The confusion comes in because the DirecTV satellite receiver only has one connection for satellite in. Maybe the LNB can be used for two different satellite receivers. Any way I got it installed and running pretty easily. I did have to re-peak the internet signal because the dish moved during the install of the LNB. Once the internet satellite signal was on target for SatMex5, the DirecTV LNB was on target for 101.

Here are a couple of photos of the dish with the LNB for DirecTV or BOW (Bird on a wire) installed.

Here's hoping that I see you On the Road with Gary.
