My HR20 was installed last Tuesday. Everything was working fine until Sunday. I was unable and still remain unable to get my local HD channels. The message on the screen says - Searching for Satellite signal in 1 or 2 (771).

I performed all trouble shooting suggestions. Went through setup again. Rebooted. Swiched the tuner cables in the back of the receiver, etc. Same problem.

It was a real bummer not seeing the basketball and football games in HD yesterday.

I've called DirecTV and they are sending a technician next week but I thought I'd check here for similar experiences.

Thanks!

Update:

The DirecTV technician came out this morning. He said the receiver is bad. Something inside is not clicking over to mpeg4 to allow me to receive my locals in HD. They will have to send me a new receiver and I'll return the old one.

He also said that I'll be put back on the waiting list for the new receiver. Seems like I would be prioritized to available receivers since I already waited over a month for this one and have paid for it.

Anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks!
