D* disbles signal meters?

[stoutman]

I have service, but meters are not working. Is this me or is Directv stopping it?

My meters are working fine.

Mine were not working, either.

I wonder if it is signal testing or attempt to stop pre-mature screwing around of dishes?

Did your reciever lock up?

I've had my HR20-700 (4 days old) lock up trying to check signals. Exit or Back would not get out of it. Menu would come up and I could reset from there.

Of course, I had to try again. Seems like every other attempt at checking signals it locks up. Next time should be ok, so I'm going to hold off till tomorrow.:sure:

I am doing a reset, but my gut says they are up to something.

[stoutman]

you were right. After reset, meters came back.

I have a hr20-700 mine has been doing that a lot lately. Seems to do it after I receive a showcase. I have been reseting the receiver and it works fine after that.

My signal meters are just fine. And it looks like TP 1-3 were turned on on 103(b)! And my TP 5 is stronger again! Yippee!! :)

Not only ARE my signal meters working, but 103b is working and it has never done that before (even though all transoponders have been since yesterday)...new HD is VERY close!!:rolleyes:

Same problem yesterday, tried to check, and nothing would show for any of the sats.. But programming was fine. I did an RBR and it was fine again..

Last night I tested the signal strength of 103(b) on my HR20-100, got excellent readings, then exited setup. About an hour later, when I attempted to record a show, I got a message asking me if I wanted to interrupt signal strength testing (or something to that effect). I tried to exit out but couldn't and was forced to do a reset. Afterwards, every thing worked fine.

this happened to me several times a

[Cybercowboy]

Sounds like my choice of testing signal strength on a D20 receiver versus my DR20-700 is a good choice. :lol:

I can't seem to get audio on my signal meters on the HR20-700. Am I missing something?

I've only had the problem on my HR20-700. A reboot corrects the problem.

It has not occurred on my HR20-100 nor on either of my H20-600's.
