DirecTV Satellite Dish: This is the real deal!
I was very skeptical at first until it arrived. All pieces are very sturdy. I set it up in my back yard, copied the settings from the Dish connected to my house. Played with the tuner until I was comfortable with it and BAM. I went inside and to my surprise the TV was displaying Law and Order. Crisp clear screen, great sound. Take the time to watch a few(MANY) videos on youtube on tuning your dish. There was not any instructions on how the wires are connected. So here it is. The short 5' cable goes to the LNB. That's the doohicky that connects to the end of the arm, facing the dish. You will connect the SWM(Splitter) between the 5' cable and the long cable to the power inserter which has two cable connections. It's pretty obvious the LNB port is for the long run to the dish, the other marked Signal to IRD goes to the receiver(big box that direcTV rents to you on a monthly basis). It's that simple. Tuning it on the other hand takes an understanding of how the satellites are aligned in the sky and patience with the tuner. ONE BIT OF ADIVCE: Make sure the tripod is PERFECTLY straight up and down (PLUMB) using the level. If not you will have trouble tuning the dish.
