I can't even begin to count the number of service calls I do that the fittings or cables need to be changed. I recabled a 4 receiver house today - it had a huge crawl space (I could stand up under the house) and the existing cabling was wrapped around the house with RG-59.... The only thing I...

Without testing it myself, the SWM splitter (1x4) may be bad. Just a guess, but if it is, it will likely start failing on the other receiver's soon as well.

That will work fine - but, you got the SWM LNB to avoid the 2nd line..........You need nothing else except a 2nd BBC. Remember to remove the BBC's when you fire up the SWM LNB.

2 way SWM splitter will run 2 HD/DVR's (4 tuners). No more than 8 tuners to a SWM LNB. If you have a 2 way downline, must have 8 way closest to dish. Will work with 4 way splitters...for awhile.

all evens on 103ca are 0 not bbc problem - ca does not require bbc to come in. 99 and 103 cb require bbc. only evens are 0- center conductor corrosion. Plus I can change tilt about 6 degrees and not lose 119, not so for 99/103.

If you're seeing zero's on all even's for 103, I would suspect corrosion in a connect on the feed to the multiswitch 103 18 volt input.

BBC's are not required for any SWM installation. Check tilt for your area and adjust accordingly. repeak via same method.

Your dish needs to be aligned properly. Sounds like your tilt is off a little. If you could post your signal strengths it would help alot.

Green does MRV, others don't.

Also check your signal levels. If your odd transponders all show 0's, I would guess that the cable running to it needs to be replaced.....if your even transponders all show 0's, I would check to see which fitting has the corroded center conductor..

Cool. HAven't tried it yet - wife is watching something on the DVR. OP - can you check your 'manage recordings' in the menu and see if there's anything else going on? just saw your reply - - probably a repeat or already recoded then...

Don't think it's new, but, I think you're spot on with the repeat, already recorded or #3 priority.

sure I can. select 3 series to record that will all broadcast an episode at the same time..

Correct, which means that with only two scheduled to record, you will not see the orange X

Add a 3rd show to the same time slot to see what happens
