    HR20 channel change probs

    Background: I have an HR20 that is fed by two coax via an 8x multiswitch. Signal strength is optimal on both lines. Recently, I'm encountering a strange phenomenon when changing channels when one of the tuners is recording. I'll push the channel-up button twice and it will start to change...

    Help save this install!

    Hey everyone. I'm a newbie here (though I have lots of experience with satellites) and appreciate any advice you can give. I'm trying to help a friend install an FTA dish. I bought the Traxis DBS3500 receiver, the Winegard DS2076 dish with an Xtreme II LNBF and an SG2100 DiSecQ1.2 motor...
