Transponders on 103(b) all zero

[jobedoggie]

Hello all.

I had my 5lnb dish and hr20 installed a couple of weeks ago. The last couple of days I have not been receiving my local HD channels along with some of the other HD channels so I checked the signal strengths. After checking the DBS forums and Directv.com, I started my troubleshooting with resetting the receiver and that seemed to fix the problem. I got my HD locals no prob.

Butt, I noticed that all the transponders on sat. 103 are reading zero. Is this normal? I get my locals out of Cleveland, OH and I don't seem to be missing any channels, so is this something to worry about?

I believe 103b is the new satellite - D10, that should begin operating later this month with the national HD stations. Everyone is getting zeros now.

Check it again in a couple of weeks! The HD fairy is coming to your house soon!

Don't. You asked a great question and I'm sure other people were thinking the same thing.

I am impressed that you checked your signal strengths!

I just set up an HR20 tonight. This must explain why everything listed as "OK" except for a "Failed" on 103b. :)
