If you have having any trouble picking up the test channels please post them here but ALSO please report them at www.iamanedgecutter.com

www.iamanedgecutter.com is a website that as put together by Earl of DBSTalk and allows all forum members (no matter which forum you use) to submit their findings so that the data can be better tabulated for DirecTV.

Thanks Earl for the site!
 
looks like earl is taking another poll so good idea to report your findings, even if you are receiving all test channels.
 
I was receiving both test channels the first time just fine on both receivers. A hr20 100s and an h20. I was receiving both test channels fine today until this evening the hr20 100s has lost the 9300 channel and continues to work on 9301. The h20 continues to work wonderfully. I am in Lancaster, OH. The 9300 channel has gone to gray screen on the hr20 100s.
 
I get everything but 9300. Blank screen. HR20-100. Nice Scott!! Quick. Painless. Less filling.
 
I get everything on (2) HR20 -700's 480, 481, and 498 plus 9300 & 9301
(Latest Upgrade -Downloaded 9/22/07)


However, on my H20-100 I get only 498, 9300 & 9301- Upgrade Ox2021
 
Hr-20....Getting 498 and 9300 fine; 9301 I get "Channel not purchased (721)" message. Nashville, TN
 
HR20 700 (0x18a)

480 = works
481 = works
498 = black screen, was getting it fine yesterday with sound and video
9300 = black screen
9301 = works

All test channels have been up all afternoon/evening since the launch this afternoon. Don't recall having any issue with 498, 480 or 481 prior to today either (although don't hold me to that - not sure about 100% of the time).

480 -- works
481 -- searching for signal
498 -- works
9300 -- searching for signal
9301 -- works (Discovery HD)
 
Well... 9300 works, 9301 doesn't, the B-band 498 isn't coming up anything (but it has numerous times in the past), those other 2 test channels come in fine, and I ran some signal tests and everything is either 95% or above.

Had been good on all test channels and the early morning test channels the other night. Today when I get home I'm still good on 480 481 nothing on 498 nothing on 9300 but 9301 is fine.
 
At 2:45 this afternoon got both 9300 and 9301 just fine including good picture and sound. Went back to check again @ 7:30 Pm and the picture on 9300 was frozen then disappeared to black screen when I tried again minutes later got nothing but black screen.

First let me say I was checking with both tuners, all evening since I got home and all worked as stated above except for 9300. However in the last 10 minutes it has started working also. Looks to be NFL channel.
