What dish are you using ?
Is that really a H20, I thought those were LONG GONE by now, I'm surprised they activated it.

Jimbo... its a Slimline 5. I would have thought it a different firmware bringing on the glitch, but it wasn't changed. 0x4239 from 9-18...and it hit both boxes at the same time, so its not the box giving out. I'd update them but I like the OTA antenna and channel scanning ability.
Interesting, so you have other boxes working on that set up ?
Are thier Signal Strengths showing up as normal ?
Has anything been changed in your set up lately ?
Jimbo, no other boxes...these were original install...2007 I think. I can't get a signal reading...soon as I try I get the screenshot and that's all she wrote! The only thing that's changed is not being to check the signal levels.
Now I'm confused, you have 2 boxes, both H20's and you DO have picture so TV is working ?
Or do you have no video to watch TV ?
Many of them did, which is too bad since it had a much superior ota tuner in it, the 5th generation Zenith.
Call in to D* and let them know about it ... they may want to upgrade you, if your interested.
Potential to get a Genie to replace a H20 would be an awesome swap in your favor.
Chances are they will want to have a truck roll to verify as this is an odd issue.
Texas...I think you're correct that it has to do with the new sat. I'm guessing but maybe they added a table for 99ca and it ran into a glitch with the 100 boxes. I realize they're old. I just wish they had not changed the ota tuner in later models. Also Texas, as I posted elsewhere a couple of weeks ago, 720, the MLB multichannel is not compatible with the 100 boxes. The blue lines are NOT where they should be, so you're not able to select the game you want to watch by squaring it, you have to enter the channel # directly.
