Samsung Series 2 Dvr Problem...

Try swapping the HR20 and the Samsung DVR ....
If the Samsung works again where the HR20 was connected, then something is wrong with the cable feeding the Samsung's room. If the Samsung is still broken at the HR20's location, then the Samsung is defective.

I swapped a D10 receiver and i'm getting a signal to the receiver. The Samsung was working just fine before the install of the new Ka/Ku dish. I have tried all 3 dish types avail. in the auto-detect. I think this is an issue with this new dish.

Let me be sure I understand what you've tried ....
You swapped a working D10 standalone Receiver with your Samsung DVR and the D10 gets a signal at the Samsung's location? What happens if you connect the Samsung where the D10 was connected? We need to determine if the Samsung's tuners are defective. If the Samsung does not work in the room where the D10 was working, then the Samsung is defective.

By the way, with the 5-LNB Ka/Ku dish, the correct dish type setting for the older Receivers and DVRs is "3-LNB Oval Dish".

Glad you got it figured out.

You did verify that rebooting the DVR didn't help bring the tuner back, right? Sometimes that's all it takes.

Could you be more specific as to a re-boot. I did unplug the unit and wait about 15 minutes. Is there something else to try?

Yep, that's a reboot. You could try a "clear and delete everything", which essentially reformats the hard drive. But I doubt that will solve this problem. Most likely the tuner died.
