Well, we are talking about the older D10 Tivo model and the Phillips DSR704. Would a change in the difference cause this? I know it is not cabling because everything worked okay before the new dish was installed by D*. Please help.paulman182 said:The old Tivo units will not receive MPEG4, which knocks you out of most of the HD channels and will soon eliminate them all.
Yeah not sure why it was brought up, didn't want to say anythingSpazzman said:Well, we are talking about the older D10 Tivo model and the Phillips DSR704. Would a change in the difference cause this?

I think this new slim line dish is not compatable with these older DVRs. I am looking for someone to confirm my hypothesis.Mertzen said:Yeah not sure why it was brought up, didn't want to say anything
No, the slimline dish is backwards compatible with all IRDs.Spazzman said:I think this new slim line dish is not compatable with these older DVRs. I am looking for someone to confirm my hypothesis.
Seeing how the HR20 is working it is most likely not dish related. Somehow the affected box[es] are not getting the 18v side of the signals.Spazzman said:Mertzen - according to the tests I run yes. It is not seeing the transponders. Specifically the even ones. Is the dish not pointed correctly?
OK- good advice. Both tuners show 93 percent on Transponder A. They show zero on transponder B.jdspencer said:Does the problem show on both tuners? What are the results of the signal tests if you swap the cables to the tuners? Do you have an external multiswitch?
A loss of the even TPs, as mentioned, is due to the 18v switching signal getting shorted. Check the connections to make sure a thin strand of the cable shield isn't touching the center conductor.
Yes. The problem is on both tunors, however on the Phillips DSR704 - i can boot that fully even though the initial setup has detected a "problem."jdspencer said:Does the problem show on both tuners?
