I did the "empty my box" trick and it held for one day! I reset it the first time but ignored it the second time and lo and behold it started resetting itself. It took a long time with a couple of black screen periods but it's held OK now for over a week. It must have worked judging by the...

I've been getting "reset" messages for a couple of days. I have done so three times and the message keeps coming back twice today. The receiver is an H24. Any ideas?

I don't have the maintenance contract. So now I've gotta deal with DirecTV again unless I can get it myself. I've aligned the old round dish we used while traveling in our Motorhome hundreds of time and I was thinking that the aiming right now is really close since I'm getting really hign...

Roofer jut finished the new roof and now the antenna need to be realigned. They said they put it back in the same holes and is should be good but they can't set it up. I get the following readngs 101 80s and 90s 99ca 0 99cb 0 99s 0 103s 0 103ca 0 103cb 30s RCVR is a...

I currentlyy have my remotes set for RF mode. I want to change them to IR mode. How do I do this? Thanks Ron

He IDed the antenna by visual, seeing at tag that said ka/ku and by going to the Solid Signal site and seeing the same antenna there, a 5LS LNB Multiswitch. He then checked his antenna selection in the receiver menu and found he had used the wrong selection and was only getting 101, 110 and...

Hi guys, My Az buddy got a BBC and is now getting all the HD channels!!! He reprts signal strength in the igh 70s to the high 80s. If he has any problems with the reception he'll have a pro come out and align it for him. He and I are both elated at the helpful guidance you've given us here...

thanks texasbrit. BBC means B-Band Converter I assume. He doesn't have one on that setup. Ron

Here are the latest transponder signals.............99(ca) eleven transponders reporting with strengths from 76 to 80. 99(cb) fourteen available with none reporting...

He's using the transponder signals from 99 and 103. He says they are in the 50's on many of them. Is there a posted alignment procedure for that antenna? If so where? Ron Go Buckeyes!!!!!!

Hey guys, Got him on the right track. I sent him the url for this thread and he, after reviewing the dialog, found that he was using the wrong antenna selection in the setup menu. He has the right antenna selected now and is getting a few HD channels but has low signal strength on many of...

Got this response from him. "The tag on the Slimline dish says ka/ku. The sats it sees are 101, 110 and 119. Am not sure which dish to select in the setup menu." He also says there is one coax coming to the receiver. Since he can't see 99 or 103 what does he have to do? Ron

I am now in Calif and he is in AZ so I have to communicate with him by e-mail. The dish on his roof looks like the ka/ku. Like this. http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=SL5-SWM How to tell if it's not a SWM I don't know. He and I are both just techie enough to get it right if we know what...

Thanks Chip, Where does one find a power inserter? Ron

I recently visited a friend whose DTV was not in HD. He is borrowing a neighbors h24 while they are gone for the winter. He has an antenna from a prior installation on his roof. Using that antenna with his first receiver he got HD OK. The model he had is unknown. The antenna is a triple...

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try. I searched DTV site and didn't find it!! Ron

I bought a rx-v565 at a garage sale hoping to use it as a garage stereo unit. It lit up as a demo that it "worked" but was not attached to speakers. When I tried it at home, I could get no sound from the speakers, cheapies but known good. There is no output from the headphone jack or the audio...

I have two DTV remotes, an RC24 and an RC65RX. I'd like to use them to operate other devices but I don't have the code list or the procedure for doing it. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ron

Chip, Thanks for the point to the error code list. Jimbo, I have a KVH l2 antenna. It automatically seeks sat 101 and locks on it. When we stop we turn the dish on and, wait till it finds the sat watching the signal strength meter fron the H24. When it reads its highest we turn the antenna...

Chip, Now we're under a tree in a campground so it'll be a while before we can go further with the issue. I'll check back in on this when i get to a clear area. Ron

Ran signal strength , the lowest were in the high 70s higest in the low 90s. I ran a system test and got 3 fails and codes 43-45-76-566. The motorhome has a automatic seeking antenna under a dome that needs to be set at 18" round in the receiver set-up. The receiver sent a different message...

I have a similar situation with a different problem. I have a H24-200 that I took out of the house and put in my Motorhome. The motorhome had previously had a h24-199 installed that worked fine. The new H24-200 installed perfectly and configured nicely and loaded the guide. The programming...

We're in a new location and it works fine. Go figure!! Ron

That's the way it's acting with one difference. When we've bee in a place where the signal is blocked by trees the antenna just keeps searching till you shut it off. What it does now is run thru its three modes of search and then stop looking. I know the connections are good because when I...

We're in a motorhome with a KVH antenna and an h24-100 receiver. System was working fine when we left our camground this a/m for a new camp. After we got in thenew place we turned the antenna on and it searched for a bit then stopped. The DTV box in the test signal strength menu shows no...
