ok, so I assume connecting directly from splitter wouldn't work. I was hoping to eliminate lnb.

You need the power inserter to run the lnb correctly.

makes sense. the power outage must have caused whatever problem I'm having. power inserter doesn't seem to be problem. is it possible for lnb to go bad?

Out of curiosity, I checked the voltage coming out of the power inserter. both, the new and old one are 20.7 volts (guess that means I didn't need to buy one). I measured it at the LNB and it was 20.6. so voltage is making it out there, so no breaks. I also confirmed the wire coming from the splitter with voltage is connected to red. does this mean bad LNB?

It could be a bad LNB. Try hooking the line that is running from the dish directly to your power supply and then from there to the 34 or 21. 775 is directv's new 771a code for the 34. Why the changed it is beyond me. By hooking straight from LNB to power inserter to receiver we can by pass the switch and see if we have issues there

sorry, I'm new to this. is the switch the SWiM splitter outside? if so, I connected the coax coming from dish to the powered "red" wire. reset power inserter, then HR34, no change Originally Posted by Hutch1814
