Has anyone had a problem where multiple receivers start loosing their color to the point where the picture turns red? The person involved has 2 D-11 receivers and 1 R-15. All are showing pictures shaded very far to the red tint. It started w/local channels first but has gone to all channels. We just put in a new R-15 and it has also started doing the same thing.

Thanks,
Greg

It's hard to see how this could be a Receiver problem, especially with so many different ones. This is much more likely a TV problem. Is this happening on the same TV, or different TVs?

3 different TV's. All doing the same thing. That is what has me so puzzled.

Is there a switch? If so, disconnect it and hook up one line straight through and see if the color improves.

Did that. It turned out to be a bad D-10 that was backfeeding over the line to the switch. Discovered it through hit or miss troubleshooting. Never seen one do that before. Replaced it with a D-11 refurb and the problem went away.

Thanks for the replies.

I think you mean through the logical process of elimination as opposed to 'hit or miss troubleshooting.'

Never sell yourself short! Good job!

Actually, the thanks goes to one of my technicians who did not give up. Even when DTV Tech support could not figure it out. I think the guys out in the field don't get the credit they deserve for a job well done.
