I have had a Tivo DVR with Directv for several months and it worked great, getting local channels and basic service with an oval, 3 horn dish. I recently hooked up my original receiver, a Hughes basic unit. The installation has a line directly from one of the 4 connections on the dish to each receiver with no splitters or diplexes. When I hooked up the Hughes, lost every channel except 234, a shopping channel on the DVR unit. Then a short time later, all the channels came in on the DVR, except the locals were out if the Hughes was tuned to the local channels also. If the Hughes was turned to the other channels, the locals came in on the DVR. But overnight, all the channels on the DVR went out except for 234 again.
I had never run a 2nd line to the DVR for full capability, and when I did and hooked it up, all channels went out, except for you guessed it, 234!
This is driving me nuts, and an install guy is coming out again in a few days--any ideas in the mean time? Thanks guys for any help, I am new on this board, you all seem very helpful. Marshall
