The meters on the receiver are not as accurate as the meter a tech uses.
What kind of receiver did you take those measurements on?
IMO, not very good. You're in need of an alignment.erict said:How do my numbers look? I don't have any picture or channel issues. I even had a good storm blow thru wed and the sat stayed on during a good rain but finally went out during one hell of a downpour. Also is the signal meters inside these receivers as accurate as the meter the tech uses.
I live in the Detroit area if that makes a difference.

Were the original numbers in your spreadsheet for both tuners on the HR21? Sounds like either a cabling problem or a tuner problem on the HR21.erict said:I have a AU9 dish and a HR21(black) receiver for my main tv
Yes the numbers from the pdf are from my hr21. Both tuners are pretty close so I only posted one set. I'm not having any issues with my hr21. Not sure if I should mess with it.mcbeevee said:Were the original numbers in your spreadsheet for both tuners on the HR21? Sounds like either a cabling problem or a tuner problem on the HR21.

Your other receiver looks spot on. How long are your cable runs between the dish to your HR21?erict said:Yes the numbers from the pdf are from my hr21. Both tuners are pretty close so I only posted one set. I'm not having any issues with my hr21. Not sure if I should mess with it.
I don't have a multi switch. The cable run is about 40 to 50 feet. It's the shortest run of them all. I don't think it's a dish out of alignment. Do you?Radio Enginerd said:Your other receiver looks spot on. How long are your cable runs between the dish to your HR21?
Do you have a multi-switch of some flavor or SWM?
To the poster that commented that we shouldn't fix something that's not broken. It's not broken today but that doesn't change the fact that somethings not working as designed. Why wouldn't you want the OP to contact DirecTV for a service call before a minor problem becomes a major one?
What's he gonna tell them--my system is working fine--come fix it?????Radio Enginerd said:Your other receiver looks spot on. How long are your cable runs between the dish to your HR21?

What make and model is your other HD receiver?erict said:So it's probably safe to say that it doesn't look like a satellite out of adjustment, right? Also why does my hr21 have bbc's connected to it and my standard hd box doesn't? What are bbc's and why do I need them?
H23-600Radio Enginerd said:What make and model is your other HD receiver?
The H23-600 has BBC's built in. It could be bad BBC's.erict said:H23-600
Does this still seam like a sat signal issue? Or could it be the bbc's on the HR21
I will check and report back. Also what are the bbc's for?Radio Enginerd said:The H23-600 has BBC's built in. It very well could be bad BBC's
Try this, remove the BBC's on the HR21 and then check the signal strength on 110 several times and see if your numbers come close to what you see on the H23?
Just don't forget to put the BBC's back.![]()
BBC stands for B-Band Converter.erict said:I will check and report back. Also what are the bbc's for?
