We just got HD locals from D* this week. Locals are coming in on my HR21-100 HDDVR, but not on my two H23-600 HD receivers. Actually I do get audio and a "Multiswitch problem" message on the H23s. Anyone got any advice?

D* said they would come and reallign my dish. Not sure realligning is an issue. I haven't looked at my connections at the dish since I didn't not do the install, but I assume they are all 4 the same. I did not have locals in the past from D* so I do not have a seperate dish for that. I have a Slimline type.

If the internal B-Band coverters are not working correctly are the locals the only MPEG4 HD channels that won't work correctly? I have had this install since mid August and everything else is working, I believe.

The H23's don't have internal BBC's, they have wide band tuners that can see the full range available from the dish. The fact you get sound doesn't sound like a signal issue either. Try going onto Directv's website and send down the activation code to your receivers or call Directv and insist they do it.

You can refresh the D* programming on your receivers here (https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/mydirectv/mysystem/mySystemResendAuthorization.jsp?_requestid=6032).

That may or may not help, but won't hurt.

Thanks for the ideas. I tried the refresh from the website. No go - guess I'll have to call.
