Below we will explain the different components of the DirecTV HD Slimline Dish
so you can decide which components you may need to build your dish.

Please read through this information before ordering.

Many of our components have been modified to make use by RVers easier.

These dishes are not intended for mounting on a home or building, but can be easily

REFLECTOR KAKU SLREF4R1-02 PACKAGE
This package consists of the reflector dish, tilt adjustment plate, LNB arm with LNB clamp and folding arm package, assorted hardware.  With the folding arm package you simply loosen one T knob and the LNB arm folds up against the face of the dish.

BACK ASSEMBLY BAU4R2-21 FOR KAKU SLIMLINE DISH

This assembly bolts to the reflector package above and mounts to the mast of the tripod.  It contains fine adjustments for the elevation, azimuth and tilt adjustments.  We have changed the hex nuts to T knobs to eliminate the need for using a wrench.  This unit is smaller and more compact than the original one which makes it a good choice for RV use.

LNB's

DirecTV LNB's are the heads that go out on the end of the arm that sticks out in front of the dish.  They come in two types - SWM and non-SWM.  Within those types they come in SL3 and SL5.  Be sure to get the correct LNB for your system.  If unsure which you need, contact DirecTV support.

non-SWM SL-5 (SL5K4NR0-02)
