I have a Hughes HTL-HD. When the receiver truly doesn't get a signal for a channel, it will instantaneously show NO SIGNAL. When it gets some signal (perhaps it's weak or multipathing issues) it takes the receiver about 2 seconds for it to display NO SIGNAL.
Therefore, perhaps the reason why I can't get WNBC-DT (beyond the low power) is multipathing? or is the receiver just not getting a strong enough signal to lock-in.
Since I have firmware 1.06, I don't have a signal strength meter in the HTL-HD ---- so I can't tell. I guess i'm trying to understand what it means when the receiver takes a few seconds to give a NO SIGNAL - is it just a lack of strong enough signal for the tuner to lock-in?
