Had the same problem here. Was searching on Sat 2. Swapped the grey b-band converter for a black one that dtv sent me and all is well. Noticed the other grey one seemed hot enough to melt. Swapped it for the other black one I had and now both are warm to touch not hot. Weird. Converters must be...

A new LNB assembly corrected the problem. When I went to change it out I noticed water dripping from the LNB that receives signals from the 99/101/103 sats. It's the one inline with the LNB arm. Water was actually dripping onto the arm. I hooked up my Birdog satellite finder again and this time...

Interesting. I just lost the 101 bird on my Slimline. Great signal on 119. Tried moving the dish around slightly with a Birdog satellite finder hooked up and still no 101. Ordered a new dish as couldn't find anybody that had a replacement 5 LNB only. Moonman, did you buy just a LNB or a whole...

Jimbo, do you think if he filled that pipe with concrete he'd be OK? I'm in the same boat trying to find heavy gauge 2"OD pipe. stumo

dcwebman, since your mount is secure at the bottom. why don't you get a longer section of pipe that will reach the top of the balcony opening and secure it up there too? that would be pretty solid. stumo

FedEx showed up with the replacement receiver today. Hooked it up all up and programmed the receiver and remotes for RF and now it works. I can use the RF from either end of the house now where as before was limited to just a few feet from the receiver and even then they may not have worked...

Called Directv this morning and once I got to what I'll call Level 3 support, the guy agreed that he too thought it is a defective receiver and is sending another one out. I must say everyone I talked to was friendly and tried to help the best they could. Will give them an "A" for customer...

Yes, it says made in China :( Can you give a clue as to how you know this? Looking for ammo in case Directv gives some resistance in replacing the receiver. Will being calling here in a few minutes to see if I can get it replaced. Thanks, Stu

Thanks Jimbos, Yeah, I tried some new duracell batteries as I never trust the cheapies that come with components. I actually have tried 2 remotes, a RC34 that came with the HD20-700 and a RC24RF that I bought at the same time. Programmed both to do the RF function and neither works well with...

Well it sure was worth a try but unplugging the UPS and surge protector made no change. When the remote works in RF mode and the receiver sees a command it flashes the LED on the Power button just like it does in IR mode. With nothing plugged into power other than the HR20-700s I watched the LED...

Interesting. No electrical panel but I do have a UPS power backup/surge protector near by. All my TV, stereo, DBS gear is on it. Will be a pita but will try to eliminate it. Thanks for the idea, Stu

Fortunately not. Saw the posts on that issue when I was searching. I have a Samsung DLP. The remote is actually working in RF mode right now but only within a few feet of the receiver and even that is sporadic. Thanks, stumo

Have a newly installed HR20-700s up and running just fine but I can not get the remotes to work in RF mode. I've set the receiver and remotes up many times to no avail. It actually worked once for a couple of seconds but only when the remote was within about 3 feet of the receiver. Hasn't worked...

Thanks Jimbo, I do have OTA hooked up an enabled and agree with you on them being superior quality. Got hung up on the install setup where it wouldn't let me select Satellite & Antenna but went in afterward and installed the antenna and later read where that was a software issue on setup. So...

Thanks Scott, wired up the new HD20-700 and it works great. Not sure what all I'm missing by not having the 5 LNB but I have what I had with the HR10-250 anyway. As the weather improves I'll get the 5LNB antenna installed. stumo

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum but have had DirecTV since the first day it was introduced in this area. I'm about to replace my HR10-250 receiver with a HR20-700. I also ordered the Slimline 5 LNB antenna assembly. It's snowing and blowing here in the St. Louis, MO area today and doesn't look...
