9300 is just a black screen for me now -- anyone else have this too?

Yeah, me too and a lot of other people. Check out the threads below the stickies.

All 5 channels worked last night and this morning, I seem to have lost 498 and 9300 right around the time 9300 switched to A&E

[Greg Alsobrook]

One oddity that I have noticed is sometimes on the initial channel change, the Info bar comes up and is about half the usual height, as if it's scrunched.

i have had this for a while on a couple of my hd locals

[GutBomb]

HR20-100 - 0x18a
498 - black screen (has worked for me until tonight)
480 - yes
481 - yes
9300 - back screen OR freeze frame of whatever mpeg 4 HD channel i last watched
9301 - yes

no diplexer or multiswitch. slimline dish.

HR20-100 (recent replacement, I hate it by the way compared to the 700 FWIW)

Nothing at all: 771 on all counts except 498 (9031 was working earlier)


H20:
"BBC confirmed" on 480 481.
Looks good on 9030 and 9031.

H20 still good.
HR20, the BBC message is on 480 and the black screen on 9030. Otherwise 771 on the other two new ones. 498 still fine. Can't check again for a while, hafta record Chuck and -ugh- Dancing with the Stars.

[fantinocsny]

I had 9301 on and i went back to watch a dvd and when i came back all i had was black screen and i couldnt control anything with my remote control and i had to pull the plug on the HR20. I had Prison Break and Chuck scheduled to record on Fox HD and NBC HD and neither program recorded. So now i have to record them on the Standard Def Locals that sucks.

[brianhd1000]

480 = Y

481 = Y

9300 = dicey - didn't show up originally by typing it in, chan up to 9301 which
worked, chan down to 9300 and it worked. Typed it in directly a minute later
(after tuning to chan 73) and it had a frozen A&E HD image - more than the first
time I typed it in directly which was a black screen. Third time I directly typed it in,
it worked fine.

9301 = Y

Also, I'm getting 75-80s on 103b from Columbia, SC... should it be higher? I'm in
the mid-90's on 101 and high 80's/low 90's on the other sats.

[axl]

498 gives me a still from the last mpeg4 channel i was wathing...also 9300 only give me something if i go to 72 -> 73 -> 481 -> 9300. Then I still a still from the last mpeg4 channel i successfully watched. This has been happening since around 7pm est...i had a yes on everyone as of 5:30pm est. Didn't have a problem until the channel was changed to A&EHD.

When I first turned on TV/HR20, both channels 9300 and 9301 were on with no issues.

*I went to test signal strength around 7:30 PM EST (As I have been having issues with odd transponders coming up with zeros) and the receiver was slow to respond/locking up...did a reset and it seems to have solve the lock up issue
*Then I went on to test the other channels:
>> Went to channel 498 and got "Searching for Sat...771",
>> Went back to channel 9300 and got "Searching for Sat...771",
>> Then went to test channel 480 and got "Searching for Sat...771",
>> Then went to test channel 481, I got confirmation bar,
>> Back to channel 498 and I got the confirmation slide,
>> Back to channel 9300 and I got the confirmation slide
This issue with "Searching for Sat...771" on channel 480 and 498 has been intermitting since the channels launched (If I go to 481 and then 498 it works).

*I then tested 103b signal strength twice tonight and both times I get signals on all 16 transponders and both tuners (a good sign as this has been a problem with the odd transponders this past week)

Note: signals on odd transponders are lower then even transponders
Tuner 1: 26, 64, 15,70,15,73,0,74,9,77,13,77,37,83,77,94
Tuner 2: 42,73,30,72,20,74,10,75,14,79,28,79,34,85,80,94

Throw us a bone. Lots of reports and some patterns have to be emerging.

Whats causing the issues?

Why were there changes on 9300?

What can be done to reverse any adverse events?

What can we expect next?

We're suppling a lot of info down a one way street.
I am patient as anyone about this HD mania but would like a "little" feedback on the ongoing issues.

Please.

All systems go on the HR after having some issues with 9300....just had to switch from 72 back to 9300 and it came up. Also all of a sudden gettin' 498....for the first time on this one.

On the H20, everything works as well...no issues.

I believe I have the current national software for each....running slimline dish and the standard multiswitch. HR20 is HDMI and H20 is component....

Note: signals on odd transponders are lower then even transponders
Tuner 1: 26, 64, 15,70,15,73,0,74,9,77,13,77,37,83,77,94

Your dish needs to be tuned.

What happened?

It seems a lot of people have lost 498 and 9300 when A&E came on on 9300. There is another active post with a lot of people having this new problem me included.

All was working fine before D* changed 9300 over to A & E
