    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    Searching for SAT issue resolved for now Here is the lastest update, which has been placed in other related post/forums as well: OK, so here's my story: After three tech visits, I came to the conclusion that this was either a HR-20 s/w issue, or a LNB issue. I called DTV and requested a...

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    Thanks for you input Satmeister. I did tighten all of the cabling/connectors coming from the Dish, but I didn't check the LNB, I will check that tomorrow. However, I am still wondering in my heart of hearts, whether this issue is s/w related. Peace and blessings, Azeke

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    OK here is the latest update to the saga: I spoke with DTV, again about this issue, I informed them of the trouble-shooting performed by myself and the technician (another story for another day). We had both came to the conclusion, that the LNBs were probably bad. However, DTV stated that...

    Searching for Signal 771 - only at night

    Hmmm, I would check the following: 1) Check your multiswitch-Zinwell WB68 2) Bad LNBs. 3) Dish realignment/cabling-check you signal strengths. 4) Check for Dish obstructions. Just my quick thoughts. Peace and blessings, Azeke

    New HR20-700 installed.. NOT HAPPY!

    Jimbo, Indeed, OxE3, which is suppose to fix the ff issues, and from what I have seen everyone who has the update seems happy. The update was staggered and started on the left coast, but everyone should have it by this morning. If not you should be able to force the download. Peace and...

    What to do with AT-9 if you need more than 6X8

    Nicely illustrated Str8, that was my previous config. I now own the WB616 previously mentioned, seems to do the job pretty well (still evaluating the unit). I wanted to condense my wiring and be able to mount in my wire box. I just informed D*TV that I wanted to upgrade to the WB616 and ask...

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    Right now, I just bypass the error by simply changing to Channel 70 and jump back to the previous channel. Everything seems to be magically repaired, including pixelation (if any). Hopefully, a firmware update is on tap for next Wednesday, which will address this and other issues. Again, I...

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    OK, I have run the system through testing, and I am still receiving the SAT signal error. I certainly hope that this issue is resolved, with the next firmware update. BTW, I have a H20-600 and that works fine. Peace and blessings, Azeke

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    Update: I decided to reset everything (formats hardrive), just to see if that helps. So far so good, no more searching for sat signal (keeping my fingers and toes crossed). I guess it is like receiving a Microsoft update, you need to reboot for the updates to take affect. I will keep you...

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    It seems this issue is still related to the software upgrades. I am still awaiting the new LNBs, but I have read elsewhere, that someone has tried the LNB replacement without any prolonged success. I will keep you posted. On a separate note, after telling my brother-in-law about Verizon...

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    New Software Update Dc I have the new firmware installed, I rebooted (reset door) twice, once for kicks, and once due to freeze, the HR-20 seems a bit more stable now. I still receive the searching for Satellite signal, but with much less frequency. I requested a new LNB pack from Directv, to...

    Shall we raise our HD Lite, Captain?

    I actually found the commerical quite entertaining, I am old Star Trek fan. That being said I am considering Verizon FIOS TV and leaving Directv (I have FIOS internet already), but my wife and daughter have Tivo boxes which we own, so.........well you know. I guess I could sell all the...

    Searching for Sat Error Code: 771 on certain channels with the HR-20

    Been there done that 3 times. I believe, among other things, that this device has major issues with MPEG-4 compression (programming code related to MPEG-4 compression). The more I think about it the more I believe this is the primary issue, IMHO. The Senior Tech came out to my house, I...
