All I can say is Ironwood sucks. I know you have a bad taste from DTV, but they are just as frustrated as you. Or at least that has been my experience. To get the guy from Ironwood to finish the install, I had to bribe him, cash, and even still it wasn't done right. I had to tweek it...

I have the exact same setup. 95 on oval (2 LNB for international) and HD on Slimline 5LNB. 95 can go on Flexport 1. On my H20, I told it that I have the 5 LNB dish, then there's check box for additional satellites. After that there is are two check boxes for 95 and 72.5. I checked off 95...

I would like to report, that last night, somewhere in the wee AM, my "other" R15 took the update automatically. It's entirely possible the mass update is here, but since I haven't checked my "forced update resistant" R15, I can not say for sure if its happening just yet.

I have the R15-500, live on the west coast, tried the forced update command, and nothing. It apears the forced update command does not work. When entering the command, there is no alteration in the reset sequence, as if the command was never entered. I also checked on DBSTalk, there are other...

We are talking about this in the main DirectTV forum

I haven't seen anything yet.

What I mean was have all three cables properly connected but tell the first installation screen where it asks what kind of dish you have to select single round. The issue here is that the 95 LNB is Liniar and the first install does not take that into account. So you just do the singe round...

Set up single Round LNB first on 101. Then let the new firmware update. Then do an autoinstall. Also coax on 95, goes to 18v on 4x4, check all your connections are tight.

Additionally the Birdog satellite finder made a great difference in our installation. Without it, even if you find 101 and tweek it to 95, you may still end up on the wrong sat and not complete your install. Only the Birdog will tell you what satellite you are peeking.
