    Local channels from neighboring cities

    I live between Madison and Milwaukee and used to get both sets of local channels, then one day the Madison channels were just gone. The only thing I could figure is that maybe the competition had previously provided both sets and stopped, so they did too?

    Searching for signal 771 on both standard boxes, channels missing on HD box

    Thanks, Dave. No, it's not a SWM--just read about that kind of setup this morning. I googled kaku just now and it said it refers to 5 LNB. That reminds me--one person who responded said there is sometimes a problem with white-faced 5 LNBs and the sun, and that is apparently what we had even...

    Searching for signal 771 on both standard boxes, channels missing on HD box

    Hi Dave, do you mean on the box in the room that previously shared the line with the OTA and no longer does? Since the LNB was replaced and it's all working now, my remaining question is whether I have to leave the OTA disconnected in that one room or whether it's okay to combine in the...

    Searching for signal 771 on both standard boxes, channels missing on HD box

    Update with a question: Well wouldn't you know that when the tech got here, the sky was dark with clouds, so all 3 boxes were working? (We had one other day when the sky was overcast and the reception came and went, so it was definitely tied to the sun and /or temperature.) Fortunately, he...

    Searching for signal 771 on both standard boxes, channels missing on HD box

    Thanks, Scoop8. So that tells me I had better make sure that the repair guy can come when it's sunny out and during the times when the boxes aren't working so he can see what's going on. The boxes seem to go out at 10:30am and stay out until around 7:30pm, so an afternoon appt. should work.

    Moving in July, lease doesnt accept DTV

    Regardless if the landlord can tell him he can't install a dish, isn't the ETF prorated according to how long you've had the service out of the two years?

    Searching for signal 771 on both standard boxes, channels missing on HD box

    On Saturday morning all three of our boxes (2 standard and one HD) worked fine. Mid-morning, both standard boxes said searching for signal and certain channels stopped working on the HD box. One of them is 608, which is an outdoor channel. I don't have a complete list at the moment. I called to...
