I have Bird Dog USB PLUS and Direct TV SWM Sat and the Power Insert for the Dish. In what Config do I power the Dish and Setup the Dish with the Meter? Do I need anything Else?
I purchased a Standard Def Tripod for Direct TV, I had someone Weld a 2" OD pipe on the Top so I could mount the SWM Dish. I liked the Winegard Tripods best, adding the Pipe was to me the best solution I could think of..
No Updates are needed for the Bird Dog,
 
While getting my trailer rewired from a standard 4 wire configuration to a SWM I had a heck of a time figuring it all out.  What I discovered that worked was...  connect a long coax from the sat box input to the Birdog.  With the long coax I ran it out the door to where I was trying to setup my dish.  I was then able to use Birdog to lock onto 101.  If I tried to connect Birdog directly to the LNB I could not get a lock.  I verified that this worked using my rooftop Winegard Trav'ler SWM. So it should be good.
