Well the Directv tech arrived today and I described all the symptoms and he went ahead and replaced my LNB, Splitter, and HR23. I replaced the cable Saturday so nothing else unless it is the power inserter. I will keep in mind what you said. Thanks

Here is the latest. I decided to run a brand new cable from the splitter to the HR23. The power inserter is also on this feed. I hooked it all up and tried it but no dice. I checked the SD box and ofcourse as always it was working. I waited about an hour and tried it again and well it was...
