This past week I purchased a triple LNB oval dish for my pending HD monitor. I got my TV and purchased a Samsung TS360. What is really weird is my new Samsung... and TiVO only recognize one satellite... even though I changed the dish type to reflect triple/oval. My Hughes (non-HD) in my bedroom recognizes all three satellites and shows me at 100%, 100% and 92% signal strength on the three.

Why would I have one receiver showing everything as it should be and the other two only show a single bird. To note... my regular programming comes in just fine on those... just don't get HD on my Samsung.

Any suggestions??? :confused: :confused:
 
Got it resolved

Hi Guys... just wanted to drop and update to let you know I found the issue... it was the multi-switch. My new 5x8 powered Terk arrived about an hour after I posted my "help request'. Installed the multi-switch, rebooted my receiver(s) and everything came up. Excellent signal on all units.

:D :D :D :D

Regards,
 
yep, the std multi switch won't work with a triple LNB since it has a Multi switch built in...
The powered Multi switch is the way to make it happen

ENJOY!
