All But One HD Channels Gone - Sat. 2 Error?

abjrjrm · 12-06-2005, 08:26 AM

Last night all but one of my hd channels went off with the "signal on sat 2" error message. CBS HD comes in great, but all other hd channels went off with the sat 2 message. Checking the signal strenght, the default transponder 24 showed no signal on sat 2, but transponder 25 showed full strenght on both. But it keeps going back to default transformer 24.
Even though T. 24 shows zero signal on sat 2, both tuners work fine on all but the HD channels. So sat 2 is working, but only gets 1 hd channel.
Any Help? Thanks!

Might be the LNB on the dish has gone bad, and needs to be replaced, or the Mulitswitch is bad.

call directv and have them check it out.

I had the same thing happen to me when I got my hr10-250 and they had to come out 4 times before they figured out it was the LNB's.They replaced the LNB's and it was fixed instantly.Now the only time I lose my HD is when I lose everything due to heavy rain and soon to come.....F'n SNOW.

It was a broadcast problem, .... or so they told me. Did it return? Mine did.
