I seem to have lost the 110 satellite signal, which I have been getting for a number of months now.


RCA DTC100 with Oval dish and LNB add-on kit. DTC100 dish type (still) set to "3 satellite" setting. Dish Pointing test shows no signal on 110: 101 and 119 are at their normal strengths. Channel 90 (and 543) shows "searching for satellite."


Debugging suggestions please. Is this something that a hard reboot may address?

Being unable to get the SAT C 110 I learned that transponder 26 is the one with the signal for channels 90, 543 and 400.

If you see this one beeping.... less than 70 strength.... you won't get a signal

Try rebooting your receiver by pressing the down button and power button at the same time for five seconds. It worked for me.

I believe this is incorrect. Their are only 3 active transponders on the 110 satellite: 8, 10, and 12. DirecTV channels 90 and 543 are on the 110.


Channel 400 comes from the 119 (Sat B).


I don't understand the "beeping" or the "less than 70 strength" comments - I can get a signal when my SS meter shows 35. .

An update:


With no intervention on my part, it decided to start working again yesterday. Maybe I have a bad wire and/or lose connection on the Sat.

You are right...

I just received my new Zenith HD SAT520 and it clearly showed the 3 active transponder as you rightfully stated. - in my case no signal...

The information I had came from DirecTV tech support... Morons...
