I'm pretty sure I have this narrowed down to the receiver but, I figured I'd run it by you guys just in case. Here is the deal. For over a year, I've had my DTV installed with an HR-22. DTV installed it. SWM install. Worked fine. I just added an HR-24 I bought from an online supplier about a week ago. I simply hooked it up to the 4 way splitter called DTV and activated. Everything is good. Tonight I come home from work (nobody has been here) the HR-22 is working fine. I turn on the 24 and it says searching for signal on Sat 2.
I've tried using a different port on the splitter. Same result. I"ve tried the reset, it didn't work either. I've tried taking the cable from the HR-22 and putting it into the HR-24, I still only get signal strength on tuner 1. I took the cable from the HR-24 and hooked it to the HR-22. The HR-22 still worked with both tuners.
I called DTV and they had me try some things. None of them worked. They couldn't help me other than to offer a $50 tech visit.
My way of thinking is if I'm using the same cable that is working fine on the one box and, moving it to the other, only to get the same non working result, then the cabling must be fine. It has to be the box itself right?
