Is this for all channels? What dish? Sat 119 is used for guide data is you have the 5LNB, 101 is used if you have the 3LNB. Check your signal strengths.
Strange I have had my box changed twice without issues...my hard drive was acting up...why would they give you a hard time...are they short on receivers?sorry, i not a techie but i think all my strengths all at 100. i should tell you a been fighting with directv for a year to get a new HD box , yes it for all channels but it happen more with the HD all channels
I think an email to the VP of Public Relations could help in this case.
