    No satellite but, I have it in other rooms

    YES, switch the receivers out in different rooms if they are working ... if they dont work in the room with HD then you know the line is bad... OR It can be as something as small as a little piece of braid touching the copper line ( did the installer put new fittings on? )

    Technician visit = $70?
