Thread: 4dtv 922 - No analog - No digital

It seems my 4dtv 922 is now just a dish mover.
I wanted to watch the analog Directv satellite launch and discovered that I only get snow on all analog channels. I tried DC2 channels and I get no lock. Signal is 100 and Quality is 99 on all DC2 channels that I checked. The signal occasionally drops to 10 and then back to 100. The lnbs are fine as my FTA receivers all work as does the Broadlogic Spectrum analyzer. They are connected via splitters with power passing to the 4dtv. Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

for analog have you tried a known 24/7 analog channel like Shepherd's Chapel (G4 16V)

I tried PBS on AMC 2/4 and a few others that I could see on the Broadlogic Spectrum analyzer.

bad splitter?

If it jumps from 99 quality to 10 then back to 99 sounds like a short somewhere

I removed the splitters and still no analog or digital. I'm thinking the tuner is bad or maybe it's not getting power?

possibly?

Even if the battery died in it the analog channels should still work. This is weird

I recently replaced my 7 1/2 foot dish with a 10 foot dish. I had to pull the 4dtv out to swap the M1 and M2 wires around because the motor on the actuator that came with the 10 foot dish ran the wrong way when I installed it. I'm not sure if the problem started after I replaced the dish or if it happened before and I had not noticed it. I have no DC2 subscriptions and I don't usually watch the analog channels.

Something could have happened the 4DTV's tuner. You could see if the connector broke off the circuit board.

Welcome to the club. Only mine gets analog and digital looks like this.

I'd love to replace it with either a modified *choice box or a 5DTV.
