My situation: Got my Directv HDDVR yesterday; installer had never installed one before, so I am not sure he did it correctly (he's not sure he did it correctly). I have the HDDVR, a DVR, and a standard receiver. He installed the dish with a triple LNB, took those four cables and went to a 4x8DTV Multiswitch and then to the receivers. The HDDVR is receiving a signal strength of 98 on satellite 101, but absolutely nothing on the 119 and 110 (the HD right?). I may have some tree obstruction, but if I get that good a signal on 101, shouldn't I get anything on the other two even with some obstruction? I have searched the forums, but want to be sure. Thanks for any help.
Help; answers needed.

An obstruction can indeed be so that the 101 comes in and one or both of the other two are obstructed.
: Can the other receivers be configured to work with a Phase III dish and if so, are you getting anything on the 110 and/or 119 on those? Also, try bypassing the multiswitch to see if it's causing the problem and just run a line straight to the HR10-250, you can use barrel connections to tie the lines together...
There is a good chance it's trees causing problems as mentioned or he didn't align the dish properly also.
