Direct TV Tivo setup problem

Advertisements

I have a DTV Tivo and just moved 3 days ago. I havent gotten all my belongings from the old house yet and one of the things left was my DTV dish and LNB's I had a Primestar dish to get better reception in bad weather, with 2 lnb's and a multiswitch.
Here at the new house I did have my junk box of extra LNB,s and a dish network dish. I cant find my old DTV dish. Anyway I have a 18" round dish and several LNB,s but I am not sure if they will work with DTV. I hooked up the Satellite 1 input on the DTV Tivo box and I have a LNB on the dish with one coax output no model no. but 12.2 - 12.7 ghz 950-1450 mhz and I can find a signal on only the even transponders.
I tried another LNB DTV multi satellite model CCS2500 with duel outputs, either output only gets even transponders. I also have a duel LNBF Dish setup that doesnt get anything.
I checked the voltage on the cable and I get 12v and 18v even/odd.
The SS reads under Satellite 1: 101 but when I exit the setup it tries to aquire data and comes back with 101 not detected.
Im stumped will theses LNB's not work? can somebody help?
thanks

 

I will leave the post but I found the problem. Bottem line is I couldn't read a compass. Now I can.

 

This is a Temprary setup untill I get completly moved in. However I do need a dish with more gain this 18" one just gets a signal at 50-65, first clouds and I will lose signal. I will check out those dishes. When I bought this house it had a dish setup and the installer put the dish about 100ft from the house to clear the trees. I found that just about anywhere from any back eve of the roof there is a clear view of the sats.

thanks
