I have a Direct Tivo DVR 40
I have been having trouble with the SS getting week in the last week. First the SS looked like the dish was just out of kilter. However everything worked except a lot of drop outs. Today I spent an hour trying to get the SS up to no avail. I still could play pre recorded shows. Then I started seeing the not subscribed message. So I rebooted and it gets to about 70% loading and never completes but I could still watch pr recorded. The subscribed and not activated started showing good then bad etc. So I rebooted again and 2 or 3 times it would get to 70% or so and never finish. On the last reboot I did not see the power led. I pulled the unit and the fan is running, the HD is running. I checked the HD voltages and they are ok. I see the Digital audio red led blinking. I checked the LNB ports for Voltage and get nothing but a few MV. I checked some voltages on the MB and get voltages but not knowing what is where I cant go further.
Has anyone heard of a PS going bad this way? or do you suspect the MB. Any other checks I can do. To verify the PS. or does anyone know where I can get a schematic? I don't have another PS to replace this one and would hate to buy a new one if its the MB.
thanks
