Hello, after my system:

(5 LNB with 3 hr-20's with current Nat. software release, ported through the DTV Zinewell multi-switch)

not seeing the new 103 Sat. I replaced my Spaun powered switch with the Zinewell that is rec. by DTV. That fixed all my problems except my farthest HR-20 still does not see the 103 sat. Is there a limit how far the cable run can be from the switch?

Thanks,

jt

IIRC it was supposed to be about 100 ft or less.

My cable runs are 100+ with no problems. Make sure that your cables are RG6 solid copper and not copper clad steel.

I think the max is 150ft before you start having issues.
