    Multiswitch install conflict

    The thing is, though, I don't want or need a SWM16 (or SWM13) because I want to go all wireless for all the secondary receivers. The only receiver I want physically connected to a wire is the primary Genie. The rest I want to be wireless Minis, eventually. The only reason it seems like...

    Multiswitch install conflict

    So I was scheduled to have a new Genie and wireless Mini installed today, as part of a contract renewal and equipment upgrade that I had worked out with DirecTv recently. What ended up happening, though, is that the installer came out and after a bunch of questions and back and forth...

    Bad LNB?

    Hmm... lots to think about here. My equipment is definitely getting long in the tooth, so an upgrade is probably needed within the next year or two at most. But I could just buy and install a new LNB myself and continue with the same HR20-700 for a while longer and avoid the 2 yr commitment...

    Bad LNB?

I have also occasionally been getting a message "771 - Signal loss on satellite in 2" and the screen will be black for quite a while when tuning to certain channels, e.g. 254 AMCHD. Sometimes when this happens, I have...

    Bad LNB?

    It's not the B-bands since I tested with a different pair of those and got the same results. Also I have made some adjustments to my dish alignment to try to rule that out, but I'm not 100% sure. I neglected to mention in my post above that the main symptom of my problem is severe degradation...

    Bad LNB?

    I have a Slimline-5 dish and an HR20-700 that's about 7 years old, and I've just recently started to notice some problems with certain channels. The LNB has 4 coax outputs, and I've been running two of those directly to my HR20 (with B-band converters) ever since it was installed many years...
