I am using Direct TV - 2 of my boxes show no picture and I get the message "searching for satellite". 2 other boxes are working fine. On the 2 nonworking boxes there is signal strength only on the even numbered transponders. Can anyone help me get the picture back (Direct TV will not help unless I sign up for yearly service).

virtual1,

Did you have 4 receivers all working previously, or have you just added these. Regardless of subscription, you should be able to lock-on to a satellite signal and get channel 201 (DTV customer news). My first guess would be something wrong with the wiring to, or the multiswitch itself. Try swapping the working and non-working receivers.


You will probably get the best response by posting in the DBS General - non HDTV forum. If you do, a detailed description of your wiring setup will be most helpful.
