Particularly when they promised B10 in HD by the start of the conference games. Well guess what, that begins on Sat. Hopefully it won't be more egg in the face and broken promises.

I would love to see it up asap, however not mission critical as there is only 1 game this weekend on BTN, Illinois @ Indiana.
Hi y'all... Anyone explain this phenomenon? My HR20 gets all the 103b signals @90+, but my H20 gets zeros across the board (except on the N/A tps) Both have B-band and both read channel 499 correctly. I reset and it did nuttin. Thanks for any advice.
Do you by any chance have an old diplexer or (god forbid) a co-ax splitter in-line behind the H20? That could cause it.
cr0mag... thanks for the thoughts but no and no. All new from the slimline down about 6 wks. ago.
I'm stumped then... Hopefully one of the regulars who is much more tech savvy than little old me will chime in for ya. Hang in there!
I suspect the b-band converters are not created equal... try swapping from one that works to your H20 input.

Tech came out today. Right off the bat he tried telling me that 103(b) wasn't lit up yet, and that everything was normal. After showing him that I was getting readings on the even transponders, and then showing him this forum, he finally started to believe me.
We tracked the problem down to a connector on the LNB, it was bad. After that, the odd and even transponders lit up.
As he left, he said, "It's sad when the customer knows more about what's going on with Directv than us techs do." He wrote down this website though, and said he'd start coming here daily to find out what's going on.
I actually felt stupid for not checking the F-connectors on the LNB (I did check all the others).

Im getting 80s on transponders 1-8, 9-14 (15 and 16 read N/A) and 22. Im getting 91 on 13, 17, and 22. Is this normal not to have all the transponders available and their readings in the 80s?
Almost Always they way it is if THEY do not take the time to learn or find out, OR the company that employs them (NOT DIRECTV) fails to tell them or teach them as things change. Geez they should be self reliant.
As a technician myself, I can relate to that! We're told next to nothing about equipment issues. Word of mouth, from one tech to the next, is usually our only resource
Finding this site has provided quite a few useful tips for me... and I plan on getting the word out to other technicians so they might better themselves as well!!Readings in the 80s are pretty good; that's what I have and the test channels looked great. Some people have readings up in the 90s, but it won't make any difference in PQ. As for 17 and 22, they're higher than the others for everyone. I think maybe they're spotbeams. I'm not sure about 13.
I am new to DTV. I get 98, 69, 98, 69, 100, 90 on 99b; 103a I am getting 80 on transponder 1. All the rest are up in the mid 90's. What does it all mean? Thanksfrom a newbie?
