There are 3 on the Slimline traveler. I would have to disassemble the head to get to the connectors. The leads go into a control box. Need daylight and no rain to mess with it.

On the -700 satellite 103cb shows all strong signals 96 - 100. When putting the -200 in the same setup, cable etc. the receivers fails on 103cb.

I gave them a try but they would not guarantee the -700, only that they would ship an H24-xxx. Direct TV gave me the same answer.

I have done that. In addition, Direct TV sent me 3 new BBCs and none corrected the issue. The setup is identical for both receivers. Seems like a classic standoff. I would sure like to find a vendor for an H24-700.

Thanks guys. The H24-700 is working and checks out without any errors. When substituting the H24-200 in place of the H24-700 and not changing anything else, the errors are as described. When checking signal strength, satellite 103 shows a hard fail on the H24-200 with some transponders on 99s...
