look for an issue with the tuner 2 cable somewhere between the dvr and the multiswitchmillertime said:
110 sat tuner 2?
Tuner 2 for the 110 has had really weak numbers in the 40 thru 60 range. Tuner 1 is great. Tuner 2 for all other birds shows readings in the 80's and 90's any ideas?

Not sure how that could be the issue when tuner 2 is great on all other birds!!!
different frequency. that is all I can think of that would make an issue, otherwise I agree with you.millertime said:Not sure how that could be the issue when tuner 2 is great on all other birds!!!
10-4 I'm with you. I just flip flopped the cables behind the dvr and now it works better, however tuner 2 signal still lower than 1. Tuner 1 all in the 90's and tuner 2 in the 70's and 80's weird. Remember this seems to be only a 110 issue. I'm not gonna worry about it as long as it works.
I am having the same issue on both my HR20-100. Directv sent out a tech who replaced the lnb assembly, all of the cable ends and by-passed my wall plate with cable runs from the dish directly to the receivers. Still low 40s and at times tuner 2 drops to zero. The tech is suppose to return and replace both receivers.
On a side note, I do not need a multi-switch but if I put a WB68 in-line I get better numbers on tuner 2 for about 24 hours and then the numbers drop again.

hr-100 and just checked and signals are all good since I switched cables last night. However my fingers are crossed
The 110 sat tuner 2 reading low has been a issue for quite a while. I have had it since i got the HR20-100. But there is good news it will no longer be a problem in a couple months.
When the signals drop try this, remove the tuner 2 cable and put it back in the same place you will get a good signal for a while and eventually will drop again.millertime said:hr-100 and just checked and signals are all good since I switched cables last night. However my fingers are crossed
This problem has been thoroughly studied. You'll find that rebooting, swapping cables, etc. causes it to appear to be fixed. Yet as soon as you first tune the receiver to a 103(c) channel or bring up the 103(c) signal strength menu page, it re-appears.
I have seen no information that it will be fixed "in a couple of months." What I do know is that it effects the HR20-100's almost exclusively and that it is very often found in HR20-100-R's (refurb's), which is probably a good reason they're in the refurb chain to begin with.
A number of members have been successful in minimizing or completely eliminating the problem by adding a standard 3' RG6 patch cord between the BBC and the SAT IN 2 input on the receiver, which requires a double-female "barrel" adapter on the BBC pigtail. A different length doesn't work.
I won't bore you with the theories we've discussed as to the cause of this problem and why the patch cord usually seems to correct it. Just try it.

Trust me it will not be a problem in a couple months. and the problem is on the 110 sat.
But i think it is a good idea to try the patch cord it's short money,i will try it myself.

Did not work for me. I hope others will post good news.

Thanks you saved me a couple bucks on the patch cord. The reason i said it will not be a problem because when D11 goes live the channels will be moving to another sat.aldiesel said:Did not work for me. I hope others will post good news.
