What is SL3 LNB?

Product description. This is the SL3-SWM LNB designed with an integrated single wire multiswitch (SWM) which allows you to have multiple satellite Feeds at Once. This LNB has 1 output for the Slimline dish from DIRECTV.

What LNB does DIRECTV use?

The extra satellite locations are needed for some areas served by DIRECTV’s 119 satellite. DIRECTV commercial accounts also use Slimline-5 LNBs because they provide additional channels. DIRECTV offers LNBs with built-in SWM technology to make installations easier.

How do I know if my directv LNB is bad?

LNBs can degrade over time, particularly in locations exposed to extreme weather conditions; signs of a faulty LNB include missing channels, video pixilation, signal drop-out during heavy rain or a complete loss of signal.

Will a DirecTV LNB work with Dish Network?

No, it won’t work. Dish geometry is not correct to “see” the DirecTV satellites, and the LNB is not compatible.

What dish does DirecTV use?

The Slimline-3 dish is all you need in most markets. It receives SD and HD programs from DIRECTV’s 99,101, and 103 locations. These satellite locations carry all of DIRECTV’s English-language national channels. The Slimline-5 dish is used for commercial installations and for some international installations.

How do I reset my DIRECTV SWiM adapter?

See if you have a SWiM Power Inserter attached to the DIRECTV cable coming from your dish (it may be in a different room). If you do, unplug it from the electrical outlet. Wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in.

Is the slimline dish the same as the LNB?

Our primary home has the slimline dish, so I purchased this LNB to make both dishes and LNBs identical. The old LNB was a multiwire unit, so I simply removed it, selected one wire, connected it, added the multiswitch at ground level, connected the 21 volt power inserter at the receiver, and it worked great on the first attempt. Great HD reception.

What kind of satellite do I need for 3lnb?

The 3LNB uses the newer satellites in a much tighter group at 99, 101, 103. These are the only ones needed for most channels. (I think some Spanish channels may be missing.) I was having frequent digitizing off my screen and 775 error codes that would go away when I reset my swim.
