Moved and there is already a hookup for DirecTV (5 LNB). One box I have is a DirecTV HD DVR and the other a DTV Tivo. No issues with the HD but the R10 is not getting a satellite signal at all. No matter what I do.

On the setup I am not receiving an option higher than 3 LNB. (Dish is a 5 LNB). Anyway, here is what I'm getting:

- Oval 3 LNB only receiving some signal strength from transponders 27, 29 and 31 (peak strength is no more than 43) This was tried on both 101º (A) and 119º (B)

- Oval 2 LNB same thing..

Yet, the HD DVR is having no issues at all.

Any help or advice? Do I need to get another dish to work with this old box?

Are you trying this at the same location, or could the lines in the house be causing problems?

Have you tried pressing the reset button inside the access card door?

Tried everything and then realized I had put only one line in and it was in Sat 2 instead of Sat 1.

All is fine now...
