Direct TV Reciever problems

[Trek-Cyclist]

I have Direct TV and used it last night worked fine! Today when we got to our new CG I could ONLY get half of the sat channels all the even ones showed 88% to 94%. No odd channels at all!

Called DTV and they told me to check the conections. Did that and I have 15 plus volts on the coax to the dish. The trouble shooting guide says to replace the LNB, If not then the reciever could be bad... Has anyone had this problem? If so what was the outcome?

Good evening Ed. I have never that particular situation as yours but after 10 years with DTV I think I have seen all the rest of them. You may have already tried this but turn off your receiver and UNPLUG it from power for 5-8 minutes - plug back in and turn back on and let the receiver completely reboot. Ever problem that I have ever had was fixed this way. I also carry an extra LNB with me and have them go bad but not very often. LNB's are pretty cheap if you have the single as I do. Good luck and hope that you have some luck. Take care and travel safe................Jim

When we initially had my system installed in our RV while parked at home the intstaller had a similar problem. He only got reception on half the transponders. He replaced the cable thinking one of his connectors was bad - no luck. After a lot of fiddling around with the LNB, the wires, and the connectors he finally he moved the dish a few feet and all was well. Even though it looked clear, a distant tree branch was partially blocking the signal.

Try rebooting as Jim suggests. If that doesn't work, check to be sure the dish has a clear view of the sky. Remember, the signal comes in to the dish at a higher angle than it appears to be coming from.

Let us know if you find a solution.
