I have 2 customers that recentlygot direct tv and when I was done installing the systems, and went to activate the rec. and check the channels, the local channels would appear onthe guide and when selected to watch u can do that but after 20-30 seconds the screen would go black and u could only here the sound. Now thats happen on 3 different rec. in 3 different location. Now I tested and replaced parts switch, dish, wires, connectors, goundblocks ect... Two different houses these homes have the 3 phase slimline dishes and the 72.5 dishes going to a 6x8 switch. 1 home has r15hd and 2 d11 the second has 1 hd, 1 d11. Called in to tech support they didnt seem to know what the heck was going on and I qoute for the tech( I dont know what the heck to do cant u figure it out dont u know ) so after a few words I hung up called again a few mins later and pretty much the same thing but with a few harsh words so can anyone else help me cause for some reason some of those dtv tech dont really seemto know a whole lot.

What channels is this happening on?

Have you tried having the 72.5 dish disconnected to see if that is a problem. It was when they first launched the new HD but it is suppoesed to be fixed now.

I will ask the obvious first. Is the 72.5 connected to flex port 1 with no terminators on the other input/outputs?
