You guys are awesome. Thanks for the responses. Here's what I found last night.
I checked the signals on 110 and the GUI stated that there are only 3 transponders in use. Here's what I found last night.
Tuner 1= TR8 – 77, TR10 – 81, TR 12 – 70
Tuner 2= TR8 – 0, TR10 – 0, TR 12 – 0
As you can see there is a drastic difference between tuners so I checked my connections (removed and re-tightened) and when I did the channels returned FOR 30 SECONDS and disappeared so I checked the signals again, and again tuner 2 was at 0. (You guys let me know if I am troubleshooting correctly please) So I figured to determine if I have a cable issue with the line attached to tuner 2 that I should swap the cables and check the signals. Again the channels appeared for about 30 seconds then disappeared and the signals dropped to Zero on tuner 2! The problem did not move to turner 1. I assume this result indicated that I do not have a cable issue since the problem should have moved to tuner 1 when I swapped the cables?
I should let you all know at this point that my setup is a 2 wire RG-6 quad home run from the dish to the HR20. No switch, no splitters and all the other channels are working fine, HD and SD.
Your thoughts and insights are greatly appreciated.
