I confirmed that that my HR23-700 DVR is getting power from the wall. However, there is no standby light and it won't turn on. I believe the fuse is blown. Since I don't have maintenance service with DirecTV (and I don't want to lose the programs on the hard drive if they were to replace the...

Thanks much. I'm going to try it.

Thanks for the replies. Texasbrit may explain why I've gotten the east coast feed sporadically. Last time was during a final four basketball game. My signals for sat 99 are lower than on the SD sats. What is too low though? I get 70's mostly and some 60's. I'd like to re-aim my dish, but...

Thanks, guys. I'll address all your comments. First, I looked at the second dish idea but was told there is no commercially available switch for combining 2 Ka/Ku multi-LNB dishes. So I'm resigned to not getting locals. Re the DNS, I do pay for DNS feeds. I get SD versions of CBS (E&W) and...

Background: My 5 LNB dish can't see sat 119 due to trees - 0 on all transponders. If I move it, I lose sat 99. My locals are on 119. Therefore, no locals. However, I do get SD DNS network feeds for ABC (W) and CBS (E and W). I live near Santa Cruz, CA (Salinas-Monterey market). I asked...

Thanks, Jason. I think DIRECTV tech support may have given me a wrong answer. Based on what I see in these tables, DNS network feeds in HD should be coming off sat 99. I get the SD versions of CBS E/W on 380/381 and ABC W on 387. Since I have HD service, I asked for (and was told I could...

Thanks, but unfortunately they only offer SD locals here. It's looking like I might have to relocate my dish to a spot about 250 ft from my house. Would I then have to use an amplifier? Where would that amplifier have to be installed? If near the dish, would it be able to withstand rain and...

Thanks, I understand now. But is there any option other than cutting down my trees? I just need to get a good signal from 119, which I can target from other spots on my property. I just don't have any single location that will allow the dish to see all 5 satellites.

I got a Slimline AU9-SL5 (5 LNB) dish installed about 9 months ago to receive HD channels, but due to some tall pine trees on my property, I can only get 4 of the 5 satellites. This was not a problem, until now when I want to get local channels, which are on the missing satellite - 119. I've...
