Are you sure it isn't a dish or alignment issue?
Yes, absolutely sure.msmith said:Are you sure it isn't a dish or alignment issue?
I saw something similar to this as well. However an unplugging every receiver in the house and than the PI looks to have done the trick. I also made sure the suspect receiver was the first receiver up after the PI. One other thing suggested was to see if you can put the HR20-700 thats not working onto a different line output of the SWM.NR4P said:Yes, absolutely sure.
After posting, I swapped the two HR20's room to room, and the problem followed the bad one. The only one I ever use for CE.
Probably definitely occured during the July 11, 11pm EST d/l of the 0x254 release. I typically start the d/l and go to bed and check it in the morning. As I did that on Sat. July 12, I noted all the problems in my original post. After it rebooted after the d/l, it has never been the same.
And now that I did a RBR can't get past the searching for SATs and the 771 screens to see anything other than a few transponders at 96% etc. I'm guessing it's not sending the proper signals to the SWM multiswitch. Since the original 5LNB is no longer mounted, it's difficult to see if it will work on a standard 5LNB
Looking forward to feedback from mods after the appropriate individuals have had time to review this.
Are all three HR20s running 0x254 (the NR)? If so, it must not be the software version (which was unlikely anyway), and your HR20 must have just broken. The fact that you had just downloaded a CE version is presumably a coincidence.NR4P said:After posting, I swapped the two HR20's room to room, and the problem followed the bad one.

Ok so after upnlugging and trying with as the only receiver still seeing issues correct? Any way to get away from the SWM to an old zinwell just to eliminate the SWM??? Not sure what else to tell ya but maybe send a PM to a mod.NR4P said:I do not believe it to be just a coincidence.
If you consider that I downloaded the CE at about 1105pm, and the cycle takes 20 minutes or so with the download, reboot, Step 1 and Step 2 (searches for satellites), it means the failure must have occured within a 20 minute period coincidentally with a product that's been trouble free for over 18 months.
Also considering I have 1st version Field Trial SWM-Line and 1st version Field Trial PI, that may be part of the variables. Since the MOD moved this out of the CE location, have no choice but to disclose all here.
Also worth mentioning is that my other HR20 never got the 0x254 NR download. Its running the previous NR. Since it's running fine, don't know if 0x254 is solid in my configuration or not.
Hoping I'm not going to be left hanging on my own on this one. Been told not to call CSR's and yes I know it's national now but the system configuration and time of the failure means it will not be an easy call and I'm hoping I get some support or direction from a MOD. If not, makes me a bit nervous about future CE's.
(BTW, also did unplug all receivers and power this up as first in line as well as only one as suggested)
Well since 0x254 is up an running on lots of others HR20's with no problems, it's possible that there was a disk glitch that occured on your box during the new s/w download.NR4P said:I do not believe it to be just a coincidence.

0x254 is now a national release .. doesn't matter if it was downloaded via CE process or not.NR4P said:I do not believe it to be just a coincidence.

:blush: .. ok .. just saw that in the first post ..Doug Brott said:When you powered down your receivers, did you also unplug your Swmline Power Inserter to the dish?
He could go back to the regular LNB. I still have the old one if he needs it.msmith said:Tom,
He has an SWMline dish. No way to bypass.
