We have a job with 8 h-10s and 4 hr10-250s. 6 of the h-10s will not show locals anymore. Is it possible that 6 of 8 at one job could be bad. Moved them around and problem follows receivers. Anybody have this problem. Tech support is not that much help but did offer to replace.

I believe you have to go into the setup menus and reset the receivers to default settings and it will reload the intial programming...mainly HD channels back into the lineup.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

The HD channels work fine. Tech support didn't mention this and what do you mean by reloading intial programming?

What kind of multiswitches are you using? For hdtv reception for DirecTV you can not use the 2 input multiswitches. They must be 4 or 5 input variety. How are you providing 18 outlets. Are you cascading your multiswitches?

Do you know what satellite your local channels are on?

Let me know,

I'm using spaun cascading multi-switch. Sat C says that I'm getting 66 on the signal meter, which is way less than when installed. But then again 2 hurricanes have hit since. But then again not all receivers have this problem. Monday only 3 receivers had this problem. By the way these receivers are dtc210s not h10s .

A few suggestions.
1. Eliminate the multiswitches and barrel the wires from the receivers to the wires from the satellite. See if the problem goes away. This would eliminate the Spaun multiswitches as a source of the problem.
2. Check channels 490, 491, 492, 493, and 494. This will test if you are really receiving Sat A, B, and C. When you use the signal meter of the receiver and test for Sat B and C if the multiswitch is not operating properly it can display Sat A instead of B or C.
3. Again, where are your local channels? Are they on Sat B or C? If the multiswitches are not working then that maybe one reason that you are not getting local channels. By doing step 1 you can check if the multiswitches are working.

I had a job where three Hughes HD receivers went bad in a house at one time. All three dead or bad tuners. One Sony HD-2000 was fine. Put in three new H-10s and everything worked fine. Must have been a power surge.


This is a tough one,

Good luck,

DaveT
