View Full Version : Recurring Problem w/Locals

We moved into a new home 3 months ago. I live in a 2 Dish market. I have had the Bluegrass tech's out 8 times in about 11 weeks. One dish is the 5 LNB, the other is a standard round one.

Our house has two SD Tivo's, one HD Tivo (10-250) , one Non-Tivo DVR, and one regular SD receiver. We lose the locals (searching for satellite) at least once or twice a week. This normally happens when I am trying to record a local (not Hi-def in my market) on the 10-250. If I go through the guided setup, the locals come back, but, by then, I've missed what I was trying to record. When the locals go on the TV with the 10-250, at least one of the SD Tivo's loses locals as well.

The tech's have replaced the dish once, an LNB once, and the multiplexors twice. I believe we have two multiplexors, with eight lines coming in and nine going out. They've also replaced a few short coaxial cables coming from the multiplexors.

My question is, should I keep fighting with it, or just hope it gets straightened out when the replacement for the 10-250 comes out?

Thanks,


Dan

Give us some more details on your multiplexor setup...
Let us know the model multiplexors, and how the signals get from the dish to each of them (since you have two)

If you could take a picture it would help a lot.

Earl:

Thanks for the prompt response. I'll check out the setup more thoroughly when I get home later. I'll try to post a picture, if I can get one that's legible.

I've only posted here a couple times, and the community has always came up big.
