:rant:I need HELP!!! I have a problem with a message on one of my TVs using the HR20-700 HD DVR. I have had no previous problems. We have 6 receivers (DVRs), but this is the only one giving me this issue. I had this particular TV on most of the day with no issues. I went out this evening and turned off the TV and surround sound, but left the DVR on as usual. Upon returning home, all the power in the area had been lost due to a thunderstorm. Once the power was restored, I turned on the TV. Eventually, after getting no picture, I got a message on the screen that said "Tuner, Satellite In 1 & 2, has been removed". However, the receiver is completely hooked up. I tried all the other TVs in the house, and they are all working fine.
I reset the DVR using the red reset button. During the reset check, it went through Step 1 as normal. When it got to Step 2, it just stayed at 0% completion and wouldn't go any further. I then reset the DVR by unplugging it and waiting 30 seconds, then going through that whole thing again... same result. When I wait long enough, it will give me that message about the tuner being removed. I went outside to check the connections at the dish, but they are all fine and secure. I believe the multiswitch is in the attic, and I would have no clue as to how to find or deal with it. I have a slimline dish type (5 LNB) with dual tuner and using a multiswitch, for the record.
When I hit the Guide button, it tries to retrieve the advanced program guide, but it never gets past 0%. I can access and watch the shows recorded on the DVR, but I cannot watch regular programming. When I choose the Menu, it only gives me 2 options... Signal Strength (which when chosen says no satellite info available) and Resume Satellite Setup. When I choose the satellite setup option, it takes me to the page to verify the details... what sort of dish, multiswitch, etc. But I get a message at the bottom left of the page that says "B-Band Converters required". However, they are already there and connected properly. When I continue with the setup, it tries to verify info and resume, but it gets stuck and goes no further. Eventually I get the "tuner removed" message again.
I have disconnected and reconnected every cable, HDMI, phone cord, etc. on the back of that DVR. I even switched the B-band converters to the opposite Satellite In connections and back... no change. I removed the B-band converters altogether and connected the cables directly to the back of the DVR... no change.
Directv said that they would have a tech out early next week... NEXT WEEK! This is Friday (Thursday night when I called them) heading into the July 4th weekend, and I need this fixed way before next week! BTW, everything is plugged into a Monster Surge Protector. Can anyone help, or does anyone have any suggestions? PLEASE???!!
Thanks in advance!

Sounds to me like the tuners in the box are fried from the storm, youll know immediately by placing the HR20 in a room you know has no problems as you stated everythign else in the house is fine. Also try to move a good box into that location and see if the wiring is ok. Its possible the box and the wire is now shot from the storm, if the bad box does not work in a good location, box is shot, if a good box doesnt work in origional location of the hr20-700 then the wires up to the box are shot from the point of the switch or dish. Sounds to me like you realy need a tech repair

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
