Hi guys,
I have a problem that no one at Directv seems to understand, so consequently they want to charge me to send someone out to tell me what I think I already know.
System,
My system is first generation at best, dual LNB, one passive 4 room multiswitch, three boxes, one newer, and two old RCA's that came with the system, (10 years ago). I have the two older boxes on the same LNB/multiswitch. The other box is on the other LNB by itself no switch. The switch only has one LNB cable to it the other one is on the other end of the house.
Problem,
When the two boxes attached to the one LNB through the switch I get half of the Channel's I should on both boxes, in both rooms and Vice Versa (have tried each box in different rooms). Now when I unplug one box from the switch, I get all channels, and vice versa, hook it back up and bang, half of the channels, have tried different transponders, cable, everything I can think of and nothing changes. I think it is the boxes, but Directv thinks differently. When I put the new box in the mix I get no channels on either box, but put the two older ones together, I get half the channels. I think I need new boxes. What else could I be missing.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Matt Myers
