I scheduled another service call. The tech who came out insisted on checking things out that I told him I had already tried (re-aligning the dish, checking cable trustworthiness), but he eventually replaced the receiver and that fixed the problem. So, my first HD receiver lasted 104 days (2...

No offense, but are you reading what I am posting? The receiver, B-block, and LNB's have all been replaced. I just tried directly connecting new RG6 cable directly from the dish to the receiver. There are no switches, splitters, or anything else. I also tried adjusting the azimuth and elevation...

Like I said, I have 4 receivers, but only one is HD. I tried it on a different line but it did not fix the problem. The Terk splitter may have not worked well, but it was not wired wrong, and the locals (and other HD's I didn't used to get) were working for a few days. I guess I could measure...

Well, yes and no. After working for several days, the problem has reappeared. Doing a reset did not fix it. The transponders on 103 are all reading 0. Could it be a dish pointing problem? There's nothing but cable and connectors now between the dish and the receiver. And since I have 4 cables, I...

But why did it work at all? I was getting local HD with it in the circuit. Did they move the HD locals to a different band? I note that now I can receive MAXHD which I was not getting before, so clearly the Terk device was not compatible with something.

OK, problem solved. It was the Terk splitter/combiner! Amazing! How is it possible for a device this simple to fail? It allows DC through the satellite cable path, and it blocks it through the off-air path. And it was installed by DirecTV, and it is clearly marked for use in a satellite system...

I will try that because they could have gone bad, but the Terks were installed by DirecTV and have been working fine. Remember too that with them inline now, all channels go through that line and most are working.

Yes, I have a multi-switch. There are four receivers: two non-HD receivers in the TiVo, one non-HD downstairs, and the HD. Everything, including non-HD local channels on all four receivers, is working fine except the local HD's, which were also working until 3 weeks ago. No cabling has been...

Sorry, don't know what a DMA is. My local area is Denver, in case that's what you're looking for. The reset trick is not it -- tried it 4 times, downloaded new software, tried a different receiver and new LNBs. I now have the new black receiver which is supposed to work better than the old one...

I upgraded my HD receiver in October so I could get the local channels in HD. They were working fine until about 3 weeks ago. All other HD channels are working fine. I just paid $80 for a service call in which he replaced the receiver and LNBs, but it made no difference. He was stumped, as was...
