Wiring the Slimline sat dish power supply

[Ozz]

I just finished installing the power supply and controller. I have both Direct TV control boxes wired with coax.
I put the controller in the closet with the transfer switch, surge protector and washer and dryer.
Now I have to get the Direct Tv installers back out and have them configure the system.
The did not hook up the portable Sat dish, but wired the system for it. Now with the Slimline, it takes a different set-up. I can't figure it out. and don't want to try...

Ozz my controller was programed for my Satellite supplier the tech just pushed the button and let it do its thing. he told me it could take up to 10 minutes but it only took about 5 minute to find out where it was and then find the satellites after it did all its tests.

Well, my dish did it's thing, it had all the birds, but the receivers were not ready.

Jim,
If it wasn't for drama, life would be very dull. See you on the trail.

Jim, Did you call 1-800-directv and ask them to ACTIVATE your receivers? You probably did, just a thought.....

The installers did that when they were here, but they did not finish the job. One would think that an installer would set the dish and actually get a picture on both of my sets. I had to do most of the coax work for them, I was glad to get them out of here so I could get back to working on the Monte.
I knew I would have to get someone back out when I got the Slimline Dish installed and wired. Just did not know about the 2 coax' needed. I will run the second one today. It's always something.
I still have a 4 page punch list to complete before we go. I am going to hire 2 guys, I will easily keep both of them busy for a 8 or 9 hr. day.
