Hi Everyone,
I've looked in the forums and found plenty of info on the whole firmware upgrade issue. I'm not sure if it directly relates to my problem. Here's the issue I've been having:
I had a second Satellite setup to receive Foreign programming on channels 2001-2003 (Directv). The installer said the box couldn't support a two satellite setup (Triple LNB HD and a Single LNB international) and gave me a RCA box instead...My Sony box was much better and I was wondering whether I could use it with this setup. They put a 6x8 Multiswitch on it and connected the Triple LNB to the 101/110 inputs and connected the international into a Flexport..I tried hooking up the Sony box in but it would only recognize Sat A, and not B,C..
I don't use the Directv HD channels so I don't know why they installed that to begin with. (I use off air HD)...Anyone have a guess to whether I can make this work? I tried calling Sony Support but a disinterested operator told me it wouldn't work....I can't think of a reason why it should..In the manual it says the Directv channel range is variable.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks so much for your help!
