Is my Genie starting to fail?

[bobinraymoremo]

A couple of things have started to happen
1-I have an excellent setup with 90s and a few 100s signal strength. With no wind and on more than one occasion I get 'unable to communicate with dish' or a satellite signal lost on tuner a, one time it was tuner 1 and the next was tuner 2. I reset the Genie and it fixed it for a while.

and,

2-sometimes during playback a program will pixelate. Another program recorded at the same time was fine.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Come on, a little help here, save me from calling DirecTV

A little more info, I have an HR34, when I checked the signal strength all tuners on all the satellites were as stated below and the errant tuner was all 0's.

Call them and tell them your HR34 won't power up. They will replace it, probably with an HR44.
